| Description: | Two girls are standing in a field with a hill covered with autumnal colored trees behind them. The girl on the viewer's right is loosely holding a bunch of red flowers in her right hand and is looking at the girl on the left, as if engaged in conversation. Both are wearing hats and long-sleeved dresses--on the left nearly black and on the right an iridescent grey. Rab, a large brown dog, is to the viewer's left and is looking directly ahead. |
