The man has white hair tied back in a style reminiscent of an 18th-century powdered wig and is wearing a red coat with gold buttons and white breeches. The woman has curly hair styled similarly to the man's and is wearing a pastel pink dress with bows and ribbons. The room is richly decorated with blue drapery, floral arrangements, and a table with vases and scrolls in the foreground.
