A woman in profile in a red dress and elaborate headdress, with a man in profile behind her
A vertical painting features a woman in profile on the right, facing right, with a man's head in profile on the left, facing left. The woman occupies the majority of the right side of the canvas. She has fair skin, a high forehead, and light hair visible at her temple, pulled back under an elaborate red headdress. The headdress is made of a rich, textured red fabric, possibly velvet or brocade, adorned with gold patterns and a trim of small, light beads or pearls along her hairline. It drapes down her back. She wears a single strand pearl necklace and a deep red gown with a fitted bodice and full, dark sleeves that are lined or trimmed with a lighter color. A gold brooch with a circular design is pinned to her right shoulder. Her hands are clasped at her waist, with rings visible on her fingers. To the left, a man's head is visible in profile, facing left, through a narrow, dark opening or doorway. He wears a red cap. Below his head, his hands are visible, holding an object with horizontal black and gold stripes. Between the two figures, a distant landscape with green hills, trees, and small buildings is visible through a rectangular window-like opening. The background behind the man and the landscape appears to be an interior space with architectural framing. The overall color palette is dominated by rich reds, dark tones, and the pale skin of the figures.
