Another lady (right), who has her hair done in a top-knot and wears a shoulder-cover and a long skirt, seems to be engrossed in thought. The maid (left), who has her hair done in top-knot and wears an overdress, a shoulder-cover, a long skirt and shoes with up-turned toe-caps, is looking up at a flying bird.
