Artist, French, 1592 - 1635

Two full-bodied figures are seated and facing each other. The figure on the left is seated side-on with their head turned slightly towards the other person. They have intricate hair with decorative elements and wear clothing that includes a cape draped over one shoulder. They are holding a long, thin object that rests on the ground. The person on the right is seated in a casual pose with one leg crossed over the other. They wear a hat that obscures their face and a long cloak draped over one shoulder. Both figures are positioned on simple, flat surfaces, and the background is plain.
