[QUOTE="SeaGoat, post: 4336285, member: 1136"]I *think* I have an idea, but Im not really familiar with European fashion, so, I dont want to embarrass myself with my guess :D They are neat, not my taste, but I had fun coming up with their back stories. I'm guessing the man is a fishmonger, via dressed in an apron and holding a fish scaler, not sure what his bag would be, doesn't look like something you'd want to transport fish around in though. The woman, his wife or customer, she appears to be very displeased (I wouldn't want to be on her bad side), with him or life in general, idk... Did she want more fish? Is she dissatisfied with the type of fish? Or just because, "it's fish again tonight?" I noticed it looked as though she has scraped knuckles on one hand, and he has a red mark on one of his cheeks, but maybe shes just been kneading bread and he's cold from being out all day fishing. They have been reframed, you can see the outline of the old frames and the condition of the paint from where it has been exposed to the elements vs protected behind a frame. How old do you think they are, where do you think they are from, and what do you think their story is?
