Between the colours, the perspective and the particular stylisation of the couple's faces, this painting cements itself quite well as a Qajar piece, in addition to its credited painter Muhammed Sadiq. The Qajar period of Iran was viewed as a dark time for many in regards to certain avenues, such as political power, prosperity and even culture. However, Qajar artwork holds a strong presence to this day, demonstrating an evolving style from the previous Safavid period where portraits, instead of softening figures or making facial features more delicate, often had thick eyebrows, sometimes unibrows; narrow and kohl-lined eyes; small but round lips; and flowing hair. All of these elements are present in Sadiq's depiction of this couple, where they embrace each other intimately, wearing the fashions of the time with intricately painted patterns and a composition which complements their place at the centre while still maintaining strong presence of the background through colour and texture contrast. The woman's skirt creates a block of colour amongst these textures and patterns while her jacket, and the couple's shared accessories, demonstrate their high social status as such complex wardrobe often did. Sadiq was known for his large oil paintings and considered a renowned artist of the era, which then highlights this particular painting's importance for maintaining his legacy as such.
