Description
Two women walk in a park. The woman on the left wears a black dress and holds a handkerchief in her right hand. Her bonnet is pink and ruched with matching pink ribbons and bows. Her dress is made of tiers of black lace over steel blue. There is a matching ribbon around her waist. The dress has long narrow sleeves, with a bell sleeved lace jacket over it trimmed in wide ruffles. The woman on the right wears a bonnet, a tan dress, and a shawl and carries a white parasol in her right hand. Her bonnet is black with green leaves, and a yellow flower with blue petals on the left side. Her dress has a narrow white collar with a blue ribbon tie. It is decorated with two rows of buttons down the bodice and skirt. Her cream colored shawl has a floral border pattern and has fringe at the hems. Behind the women are large trees, a distant large white building with a dome, a green wooden fence, wire fencing, and a rustic wooden chair.
