A poised woman in a dark formal dress, detailed with a lace collar and brooch, sits gracefully with a small dog resting on her lap. Her hand holds a delicate rose, adding a touch of warmth and personality to the composition. The subdued background emphasizes her serene and composed demeanor.

Portrait of a Gentleman (76 x 62.5 cm):
The gentleman, dressed in a tailored waistcoat and jacket, exudes confidence with a neatly groomed beard and a hand resting on his chest. The muted tones and soft lighting create a timeless, dignified atmosphere that complements the lady's portrait.
