DescriptionStudio portrait of a man and woman, Che Chiang Liang and his wife Jeanne Liang. She is seated at the left, wearing a tunic and skirt, with patterned dark stockings and dark heeled shoes with a leather bow decoration in front. She wears a necklace of small pearls with a pearl heart, and a watch, bracelet, and rings. Her hair is coiled in braids at her ears, and held together with a pearl hair accessory. He is standing beside and slightly beside her, with his arm on the back of the chair, and wearing traditional Chinese clothing of a skirt or long gown with frog closures, and a short jacket. Both the jacket and the pants are pattered material, likely silk. His hair is combed straight back from his forehead. There is a patterned floor, perhaps carpet. The portrait is mounted on a beige mat with gold outlines.
