Nelly and Jane Bainbridge

British 19th Century

National Gallery of Art

Two women are seated at a table. One woman on the left is in profile, holding a hat with feathers in her lap. The other woman on the right is also in profile, with her hands resting on a box in front of her. Both women have long, dark hair and serious expressions. They are dressed in dark, heavy fabric dresses typical of the period. The setting is indoors, with a plain curtain backdrop and simple wooden chairs. The floor is wooden, and the scene has a formal, Victorian-era atmosphere.
