Cleveland Museum of Art

Black and white drawing of a scene with four people in Victorian-era clothing. Two men and two women. A woman stands on the left with her back to the viewer. She wears a dress with an off-the-shoulder top, a full skirt with multiple layers and a hat. Her hair is pulled back. The man next to her on the right wears a black coat with a white vest and shirt. On the right side, another woman faces the left. She wears an off-the-shoulder dress with a full ruffled skirt, a wide-brimmed hat and her hair pulled back. The man on the right faces her and wears a dark suit. In the background on the left is a wall with three framed pictures and another woman peeking from behind a curtain. A sofa sits against the wall. On the right is a curtained doorway or window. The drawing is on beige paper. A small signature "DM" sits in the bottom-right corner. A small number "11/15" sits next to it.
