Two dolls wearing historical dresses. The doll on the left wears a full, cream-colored skirt with a multicolored pattern resembling flames or arrows; the dress has a white bodice with lace details and short, frilly sleeves. A large straw hat adorned with flowers tops the doll's head. The doll on the right wears a long, beige dress with a floral pattern and a sash at the waist; she has a tan hat with a decorative element on the side. Both dolls have their backs to the camera.
