This is a drawing of two women in elaborate dresses. The artwork depicts the women in dresses with voluminous crinolines. One of the women's skirts is lifted to reveal hidden goods such as bottles and food items underneath. The exaggerated fullness of the skirts suggests they are being used to transport concealed items. The style of the drawing emphasizes humor and social commentary, reflecting a satirical approach commonly found in 19th-century illustrations.
