This sketch shows two women sitting close on a sofa. One wears a dark coat and hat, looking straight ahead. The other leans in, dressed in a light, embroidered dress with lace trim, holding a fan. The background is plain, with a faint window or curtain. The artist left their names in the corners: "G.B." and "Bella Bruno-infa." The woman on the right is named Marjorie in the title. Look up chiaroscuro to see how strong light and shadow create drama.
