1. Composition: Paired portraits are typically composed symmetrically, with the subjects placed side by side or facing each other. The subjects may be portrayed as equals, or one may be given more prominence than the other.
2. Interaction: Paired portraits often feature some form of interaction or connection between the two subjects. This may be achieved through gestures, eye contact, or the placement of the subjects in relation to each other.
3. Similarities and differences: Paired portraits often highlight the similarities and differences between the two subjects. They may be depicted with similar clothing, backgrounds, or poses to emphasize their similarities, or with contrasting elements to highlight their differences.
4. Intimacy: Paired portraits often convey a sense of intimacy or closeness between the two subjects. This may be achieved through their body language, facial expressions, or the use of soft, warm colors.
5. Narrative: Paired portraits may also tell a story about the relationship between the two subjects. This may be achieved through the use of props, settings, or symbolism.

In the paired portraits of man and woman is especially visible the period of creating of the painting. They depict not just the appearance of people, but also their relationship. It is enough to compare the works of the Dutch paintors in the 16th century and "The Drinkers" of Schmitz. The difference of periods is clear. Portraits of spouses make a single image of the family, often characterizing both the family and the dynasty as a whole. In general, the artist is probably always interested in writing [Expand]
