Description
A man and woman are talking in the park. The man is wearing a navy blue hip length jacket that is fitted in at the waist. His shirt is white with a faint stripe, and his white vest opens low, and reaches just below his waist. He is wearing a green scarf tied around his neck over his tall collar points. His trousers are pinstriped gray. He is wearing tan gloves and is holding a black opera hat. He is holding a narrow cane behind his back as he rests his elbow negligently on a stone balustrade. The woman is wearing a white and blue striped dress with little bows down the side of the skirt. The dress has a fringe edged yoke and bias-cut narrow sleeves. She has a blue shawl trimmed with black lace ruffles draped over her elbows. Her straw hat has bands of brown spotted trim, perhaps fur, around it and is trimmed and tied with pink, blue, and white plaid ribbons. She holds a small pink parasol and is wearing light tan gloves.
