Description

Two women are depicted in conversation, one leaning closer than the other. They are in an indoor setting with a large, ornate mirror behind them and thick curtains to the right. The woman on the left is depicted in a red and black plaid with a modest bodice and puffed sleeves. She is wearing a matching red plaid bow in her hair. The woman on the right is in a green plaid dress with a ruffled lace under skirt. Plaid flower like additions decorate the sleeves and line the outer skirt's opening. Two long tassels are tied at her waist and her hair is covered in a lace bonnet.
