Portrait of a scholar or priest to the right, in black clothing with white collar and black headgear, shoulder-length curly hair and a moustache, in front of a green background. With his dark eyes he looks directly out of the picture.
The second painting, a portrait of the breast to the left of an elegant lady with a black dress, above it a white collar going over her shoulders and a black scarf covering her hair completely, knotted together at her neck.
