Summary
Miniature picture. A miniature coloured print from the dolls' house. The image is of a bare-footed man in yellow, with blue cloak and a lady in red sitting outside. There is grass at their feet and trees behind them. The image is stuck at a slight angle into a dep frame of gold-coloured metal, possibly with a waving leaf or feather design. The whole is covered with a piece of glass, which is trimmed with a narrow border of gold-coloured paper. On the back it is possible to see the pattern of the metal more clearly; the metal is backed with paper and there appears to be a central circle with a border, which does not correspond to the square image. Blue tape is holding the back I position and a loop of thread for hanging is held by paper.
