Artist, American, 1852 - 1934

The image shows two women captured in a vertical composition where both are visible from the waist up. They are positioned facing each other in a close manner. The woman on the left is seen in profile with hair styled in soft curls framing her face. The woman on the right is looking slightly down with her head turned towards the other, her hair also curly with a noticeable flower adorning it. Both women wear elegant and elaborate dresses with puffed sleeves and lace detailing. The woman on the right holds a small bouquet of dark flowers in her right hand. They appear to be in an indoor setting, in front of a window with a lattice pattern, casting a soft light into the room. The background is softly out of focus, emphasizing the scene between the two figures.
