The two figures stand out against an ornate fabric backdrop looking out onto a landscape, a device commonly found in Venetian painting, while the three-dimensional clarity shaping the perfect volumes of the figures’ heads and a certain skill in depicting crystalline translucence, for instance in the figures’ eyes as they stare out at the observer, are typical of this painter, who was born in Cremona but spent a great deal of time working in Ferrara.
