A picture of two young Victorian women sitting together in a garden, and the dark-haired girl on the left has a basket of trailing roses hanging from her arm. The red-haired girl on the right has pricked herself with a rose thorn and leans toward her friend who takes her hand to remove the thorn. They sit against a background of dark, dense shrubbery.
