Two Costume Designs or Portrait Types
Page with two round portraits painted in red tones. The left portrait shows a woman gazing towards the left. She wears a corseted dress with a fichu tucked into her bodice. In her arms she holds a fur muff with a bow. She has a large bonnet with feathers, bows. The woman in the right portrait is turned towards the right but looks over her shoulder in the direction of the viewer. She wears a fur stole around her neck and has a tall hat with feathers, leaves, and a veil attached to the back. In between the two round portraits are graphite sketches of three shoes with buckles and ribbons.
