"A Grey-haired Gentleman And A Lady, Each Holding A Bible: A Pair Of Portraits" is a notable work by the American itinerant portrait painter Ammi Phillips (1788–1865). Phillips is renowned for his distinctive style and significant contributions to American folk art during the early 19th century. This pair of portraits exemplifies his ability to capture the essence of his subjects with a blend of realism and stylized simplicity.

The portraits depict an elderly couple, each holding a Bible, which suggests their devout Christian faith and possibly their social status within their community. The gentleman, with his grey hair and dignified expression, is portrayed in a dark suit, while the lady, also grey-haired, is depicted in a modest dress with a bonnet, reflecting the fashion of the period. The inclusion of the Bible in both portraits not only underscores their piety but also serves as a symbol of their moral and ethical values.

Phillips' technique in these portraits is characterized by his use of soft, muted colors and a focus on the facial features of his subjects, which convey a sense of individuality and personality. The backgrounds are typically plain, directing the viewer's attention to the subjects themselves. This minimalist approach is a hallmark of Phillips' work, allowing the viewer to engage more deeply with the emotional and psychological presence of the sitters.

These portraits are significant as they provide insight into the cultural and social milieu of early 19th-century America. They also highlight Phillips' role in the development of American portraiture, bridging the gap between folk art and more formal academic traditions. Today, Ammi Phillips' works are highly regarded and can be found in various prestigious collections, including the American Folk Art Museum and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, where they continue to be studied and admired for their historical and artistic value.
