Description
Two women in a garden. The woman at the left is seated and wears a pink bonnet decorated with large pink flowers and green leaves. Her dress is pink with narrow black stripes with white lace at the neckline and cuffs. She also wears a pink mantelet with double scalloped edges and a white lace ruffle. The woman on the right is standing and wears a white ruched bonnet with white flowers and ribbons. Her dress is light blue with bands of horizontal pinstripes on the skirt, pleats down the sleeves, and a bow at the waist. She carries a pink parasol, and rests her other hand on the first woman's shoulder. There is a rose bush, an overarching leafy bower, and next to the woman on the left a small round three legged table, with a bunch of flowers resting on it.
