This is a sepia-toned photograph of a shop window display featuring mannequins dressed in coats and long dresses. There are four mannequins positioned inside the window, their bodies turned slightly to the right, their hands and arms in different positions. They all have pale skin, thin, arched eyebrows, and hair styled in tight curls around their face. Displayed in front of them are several umbrellas with price tags. Behind the mannequins appears to be a paneled wall with some curtains hanging down. The window glass reflects the landscape in front of the store, which includes a building, trees, and a pale sky.
