the two brownes are portrayed in contrasting styles. lady browne, dressed with two brooches and a headpiece, is looking directly at the viewer with a pleasant expression. sir thomas, on the other hand, appears to be staring into the distance. he is dressed in black with a white collar. american professor reid barbour has likened the pair to the pastoral poems of john milton, with lady browne representing the upbeat "l'allegro" while sir thomas is the serious "il penseroso". barbour nonetheless described the two as complementing each other. there are no books or symbols visible in the painting.
