| Three young women are the focus of this painting with nothing but a brown background behind them. Elbows linked together, the women stand closely together and are in deep conversation. The two women on the left are facing the young lady on the right, who is newly wed. What could they be asking her? They are dressed appropriately for being public, wearing hats, except the lady on the left holding hers in her right hand, whose dress is a creamy white with blue bordering and white trim lace. The young lady in the center is in a light blue dress with subtle white buttons, white trim lace and cream bordering. The newlywed on the right is in a dark navy blue dress with a blue embroidered border and white lace trim. They are portrayed delicately and extremely realistically. |
