A portrait by Richard Schmid, painted in the alla prima technique with a free, gestural style, by Jeremy Mann and Greg Manches. Outdoor café
An oil painting features a man and a woman in what appears to be an artist's studio. The man on the left wears a dark suit, white collared shirt, and a red tie, with a black bowler hat atop his head. He is in the process of putting on or taking off a tan trench coat, holding it draped over his right shoulder and arm. His hair is grey and short, and his gaze is directed towards the viewer with a neutral expression. Beside him on the right stands a blonde woman wearing a brown turtleneck under a light brown blazer and a white smock with grey abstract patterns painted on it. Her hair is tied back, and she holds a piece of paper or canvas that is partially painted white. Her expression is calm as she looks slightly to her left. The background is an abstract composition of blocky shapes in shades of brown, red, white, and black, suggestive of a wall in an art studio. A wooden table in the foreground holds two white paper cups with lids, sitting next to some papers. The lighting is bright and even, highlighting the figures and the painterly texture of the artwork.
