Description
Two women stand on a balcony. The woman on the left wears a lace cap with pink ribbon detailing and a matching white lace stole wrapped around her shoulders and fastened at the center with a pink ribbon bow. Her dress is pale blue with long sleeves and white lace cuffs. The skirt has three lines of circle trimmings down the front. The woman on the right wears a white lace cap with a purple ribbon bow on the left side. Her dress is an orange-gold color with buttons running down the center front. The front of the bodice and skirt is embellished with ornate lace or braid trimming. In the background is a lake with a large building on the opposite shore. The balcony on which they stand has ivy and other climbing plants growing up the balustrade and column. A large pink and white striped drape hangs behind the women and is pulled back to reveal the top of a tall leafy plant.
