The portrait of a woman and the portrait of a man (Robert Campin, Man, London National Gallery) are most probably a pair who originally formed a dyptich.
Half-length cutting with stress on almost realistically painted face is typical for this kind of portraits. The cutting slowly becomes bigger and the hands of the sitter which have the same cutting as the face are included. A neutral, monochrome background which emphasizes the expression of the sitter is also very typical for these portraits.
The eyes of the sitter are not yet directed at the observer.
