This image depicts two women engaged in an afternoon tea party. The woman on the left is attired in a dark dress and hat, while the woman on the right wears a white dress. They are seated in a room with a mirror behind them, surrounded by lush greenery outside the window. The artist has employed a range of techniques to create a sense of depth and texture in the image. The use of color drypoint, softground etching, and aquatint adds a level of complexity to the composition, while the touches of gold metallic paint provide a touch of luxury.
