Description
Two women are depicted in a parlor. The woman on the left wears her hair with curls along the front and decorated with hair ornaments. Her dress is off the shoulder and a light blue. There are ruffles across her bodice. Her skirt has a top layer of white lace with dots. The light blue layer below has rows of ruching in the pattern of crenelations. The skirt has a very wide blue ribbon tied in a bow at her hip. Her accessories include a gold necklace with pendant medallions, bracelets, and pendant earrings. The woman on the right is sitting at the piano. She faces away to show her hair done up in ringlets at the back and accented with gold hair ornaments. Her dress is brown and off the shoulder. There are ruffles and rows of ruching across her bodice. Her accessories include gold pendant earrings and bracelet, and brooches on the top of her short sleeves. Both skirts are very wide; it is the height of the crinoline fashion.
