Description
A group of four women, two standing and two sitting. The woman on the far left wears a small white dotted lace cap with zigzag edges and a large pink rose at the side. She wears a tiered ruffled white lace blouse with a small collar, a pale gray dress with an open front, exposing the bodice of the blouse, and three-quarter sleeves which show the tiered ruffled lace sleeves of the blouse below. Her gloves are cream and a she has a bracelet on her left wrist. The woman in the middle left has a ruffled lace veil with yellow decorations on the side and down the back. She wears a white eyelet blouse with a scalloped neck and a white and blue plaid dress with ruffles along the v neck.The sleeves are three-quarter length and are edged in ruffles, allowing the white lace sleeves of the blouse to show below. Her gloves are cream and she holds a rose in her hand. The woman in the middle right has her hair in a braided bun and ringlets intertwined with flowers. Her dress is white with tiered, scalloped lace down the front, from bodice to hem. Her sleeves come to her elbows and have two tiers of the scalloped lace. Around her wrists are tied two black ribbon bracelets and she holds a large red book of sheet music. The woman on the far right sits wearing a pink cap of gathered fabric with white lace. Her dress is seafoam green with just a sliver of the bodice visible underneath a sheer white lace jacket with dots and zigzag edges on the lapels, tiered ends of the sleeves, and waist. The skirt is made of three tiers of floral patterned fabric with fringed, scalloped edges in the same green color as the bodice. She holds a small red book in her gloved hand and is adorned with a bracelet. The women appear to be sitting in a garden.
