Either the cloth is with edging all over of embroidered white muslin or lace. Next lady wears a pink dress crossed with deep blue stripes. Dress has long tight sleeves on the bias, with linear black ornamentation that seems to be solid in places, defining the V of the bodice, the elbow, and the hem. The next is seated, wearing pale blue with a tiered skirt, short mancheron sleeves, and deep V opening in the bodice, spanned by lacing, the whole covering a chemisette and long lingerie sleeves with bell ends. Next displays a black net mantle shaped to the arms, extending low in back with 3 tiers of deep frill, with a long extension down the front of the pink dress which has a tiered skirt edged with matching fringe. The man is presented in a dark blue frock coat wide open to a sleek and simple white waistcoat with as small standing collar and no lapels, long, over white pantaloons.
