A white shed with a saffron-orange roof stands in the back corner of a walled garden in this vertical painting. The scene is painted with thickly textured, visible dabs, swirls, and strokes throughout. Diagonal banks of flowers in scarlet red, rust orange, pale peach, corn yellow, shell pink, and navy blue lead into the garden from the lower left to upper right. The space is enclosed with a wood fence, which is painted with vertical, caramel-brown strokes, to our left. The fence to our right of the shed disappears behind a cloud of yellow and green flowers. A tree painted with avocado-green and harvest-yellow strokes towers above the shed to our left, and more flowers and spruce-green trees grow beyond the fence to our right. The sky above is painted with textured, turquoise strokes.

Painted almost entirely in tones of golden, mustard, and pale yellows, a young woman is shown from the lap up having turned to face us while making lace on a wooden frame in this vertical portrait painting. Her body faces our left almost in profile, but she turns her face to look at us with large, hazel-gray eyes. Her skin has a yellow cast but her smooth cheeks are lightly flushed, and her coral-red lips are parted. Her cinnamon-brown hair is parted down the middle and pulled back under a slate-blue ribbon, and she wears a teardrop-shaped earring in the ear we can see. Her burnt-orange shirt has pale yellow, wide cuffs at the elbow-length sleeves and a wide collar that rests across her chest and shoulders. The cuffs and collar are textured, suggesting fur. She rests her bare forearms against the wood frame in front of her, to our left, which is about the height of a table. A parchment-yellow cloth is draped over the frame, and she holds two short, cylindrical bobbins in her hands. Two more thread-wrapped bobbins hang to one side. The woman’s tea-brown skirt is partially hidden by a table situated closer to us, in the lower right corner of the painting. The table is covered with a patterned rug in maroon red, black, and gold. On the table are a low, wide pewter-gray bowl and a dark indigo-blue pillow with gold tassels and gold stripes near the seams. The wall behind the woman is honey yellow.

Shown from the chest up, a young, pale-skinned woman looks over her shoulder and grins widely at us so her bottom teeth show in this vertical painting. The girl’s shoulders face our left in profile, and she turns her head to look out from the corners of her large, dark eyes. She has a round face with faint brows, a slightly turned up nose, and full pink lips. A teardrop-shaped pearl hangs from the ear we see. Her dark hair is brushed back and covered by a charcoal gray cloth, which drapes to her upper back. A wide white collar lies across an ochre-yellow garment, and the background is dark brown. The whole painting has a yellow cast.

Shown from this chest up, a man holding a paint palette and brushes angles to our left toward an easel in this vertical painting. The portrait is loosely painted with short strokes and visible dashes in cool, green-edged yellow and blue. The man looks at or toward us from the corners of his electric-blue eyes, which are deep-set under bushy blond eyebrows. He has a bumped nose, high cheekbones, and a narrow chin. A ginger-orange mustache and beard frame his pale pink lips, which are closed. He also has short-cropped blond hair. His face is painted with strokes on mint green and straw yellow, and his features are outlined in plum purple. His high-necked blue smock fastens at his throat over a white garment. The topaz and steel-blue strokes of the smock are overlaid with horizontal, harvest-yellow dashes. The man’s thumb pokes through the rectangular palette he holds in his left hand, closer to us. Daubs of yellow, red, blue, red, and white are smeared on the palette. The edge of the canvas on which the man works angles in from the left edge of the composition. The background is painted thickly with pale celery green.
