Detailed Description
A woman, two young girls, and a large dog are depicted in a richly decorated interior. The woman, positioned slightly right of center, is seated on a patterned sofa, facing forward. She wears a long, dark, possibly black, dress with white lace trim at the neckline and cuffs, and a brooch on her left lapel. Her dark hair is styled in an updo. Her right arm rests on the back of the sofa, while her left hand holds a small, light-colored object. To her left, two young girls with light, curly hair are seated on the sofa. Both wear similar light blue dresses with white ruffled sleeves and collars, white stockings, and dark shoes. The girl on the left looks towards the other girl, while the girl on the right looks slightly downward and to her left. In the foreground, a large black and white dog with shaggy fur lies on the floor, its head resting on its paws, looking towards the viewer's right. The dog is positioned directly in front of the two girls. The background features a richly decorated room. To the left, a screen or tapestry displays a peacock motif with blue and green feathers against a reddish-brown and gold background. To the right, a small, dark wooden table holds a vase of pink and white flowers, a bowl of grapes, and several glass decanters or pitchers. Behind the table, a light-colored wooden chair is visible. The floor is covered by a patterned rug in shades of brown, gold, and red. The description notes strong contrasts between the dark dress of the woman and the light dresses of the girls.
