This is a beautiful vignette of a presumedly married couple. The man looks relaxed and settled as he looks directly at us. He has a pronounced goatee and the hair on his head is cropped very short. The woman looks a bit less settled as she looks towards the left. She wears a large bow and patterned dress. They both stayed perfectly still for the camera.

APPEARANCE. Masterful lighting. Very good tones, except where discolored. Very good tonal range. Exceptional clarity. This is a gorgeous portrait.
