Artist, French, 1833 - 1914

The image shows two women from a side view. One woman is leaning slightly forward with her arms on a low fence, and the other woman stands behind her. The woman in front has a delicate facial profile and her hair is styled under a decorative hat. She appears to be holding something small in her hands. She is wearing a high-collared dress with intricate patterns. The second woman is wearing a hat as well, and her facial features are less distinct due to the angle. The setting is outdoors with foliage in the background, and birds are present, with several on the ground nearby.
