There is two women one is wearing a spectacular dress and the other one is posing and is wearing a less spectacular dress. The picture is in different colours cream for the background and black for the pictures. The picture looks as if it has been drawn with a fine pen or paint brush. The lady with the nice dress looks as if her dress is made from peacock feathers. It has a good pattern in the back ground made up from dots. The lady with the nice dress has a hat with peacock feathers streaming down on to her dress. In the background there is a candle holder it holds three candles and has a spiral centre to it. The pattern in the back ground has a couple of birds in it which may be peacocks.

The mood looks as if the woman with the ugly dress is jealous of the woman with the most spectacular dress. I think that the picture is very detailed and thought about.
