Interesting. The couple’s clothing is more reminiscent of ranch clothing in the United States. Even the man’s jacket with its short shoulder cape is similar in that respect to a cowhands duster, although a duster goes well below the knees. Are they farmers or are they on a French version of a ranch?

I think it’s a sort of country gentlefolk look, but we couldn’t wish for nicer neighbours.
