The artworks, both on dark moody grounds show a gentleman probably in his thirties in a dark suit, with white collar. His firm and steady gaze is serious but one can sense a humility, the portrait wanting to convey a masculine astuteness.
The lady, probably slightly younger than her husband, wears a laced dress with ruby ribbon and a gold chain to her hair spun in ringlets.. She shares the same steady gaze, though exuding more of a sense of kindliness, one can sense a motherly, nurturing disposition at play. Both portraits are clearly designed to present the sitters in a favourable light, honourable and strong but kindly and charitable at the same time.
Somehow a mis-match but a true pair, this couple would work wonderfully well on a staircase wall or in a secluded corner.
