Description
Two women are depicted outside, next to a low wall, with flowering plants behind the wall. The woman on the left wears a pink bonnet with matching ribbons and bows. Her dress is deep green with a white narrow collar and long sleeves. She wears a mantelet over the dress in a matching green, edged with three rows of ruffles. The woman on the right is sitting and wears her hair in a low side bun. Her dress is white and pink. The bodice is white with a wide square neckline and long sleeves. The skirt is pink with three horizontal rows of a black floral pattern at the bottom. Over her dress, she wears a white mantelet with long bell sleeves. The mantelet is edged with scallops and also has a similar black floral pattern as the skirt, in three rows around the bottom. She wears one bead bracelet on her right wrist, and a bracelet with a flower design on her left wrist. Above the two women are pictured three white sleeves, displaying various lacy ruffled decorations.
