"Portraits of a Husband and Wife" is a pair of paintings by American folk artist Zedekiah Belknap, created circa 1830. These works are notable examples of early 19th-century American portraiture, characterized by their straightforward, almost naive style, which was typical of itinerant artists of the period. Belknap, known for his peripatetic lifestyle, traveled across New England painting portraits for middle-class families, capturing a burgeoning bourgeoisie's desire for personal documentation.

The portraits depict a man and a woman, presumably a married couple, each portrayed in a frontal pose with direct gazes that engage the viewer. The man is typically dressed in a dark suit with a white shirt, suggesting a sense of formality and respectability. The woman's attire usually includes a modest dress with lace collars and cuffs, reflecting the fashion of the time. Both portraits exhibit a plain background, focusing attention on the subjects and their attire, a common feature in Belknap’s work that emphasizes the sitters' social status and personal dignity.

These paintings are significant not only for their artistic value but also for their cultural importance, offering insights into the social and historical context of America during the early 19th century. They reflect the democratization of portraiture once reserved for the wealthy, now accessible to the emerging middle class. The works of Zedekiah Belknap, including "Portraits of a Husband and Wife," are preserved in several American museums and continue to be studied for their contribution to American folk art and the broader narrative of American visual culture.
