The Fitting

Mary Cassatt

The image shows two women in a private indoor setting. One woman is standing in front of a mirror adjusting her dress, while the other woman is seated nearby, looking at her. The standing woman has dark hair styled in an updo and is wearing a long, striped dress. She has a contemplative expression with closed eyes. The seated woman is wearing a dark brown garment and is facing the standing woman. The background includes yellow-green patterned wallpaper and a similarly designed floor.
