Beauties

Thomas Rowlandson, gepubliceerd 1792

The image portrays two women shown from the waist up, each seated and facing slightly towards each other. The woman on the left has a round face with soft features, wearing an elaborate blue bonnet with curly blonde hair visible beneath it. Her dress is pink with a high ruffled collar and cuffs, and she holds a small fan in her right hand. She sits on a chair with a blue cushion, wearing a gold bracelet. The woman on the right has similar facial features and curly hair, in a wide-brimmed bonnet in multicolored shades of yellow and pink, tied with a blue ribbon. Her dress is light blue with floral accents, featuring ruffled collar and cuffs. She sits with her hands resting in her lap. The background is plain and off-white with no discernible details, framed by a simple grey border.
