DescriptionTwo women, one doing needlework and the other writing letters, are sitting in chairs in a parlor. There is a calendar visible on the table that reads "August 1898." The table is also decorated with a tablecloth, framed images (photographs?) and a vase of flowers. The women, while the subjects of the image, are not in clear focus; the wallpaper, hanging light and potted plant that adorn the room are in focus.
