Three women sit in the parlor or drawing room of a house, probably in Breckenridge, Colorado. On the left, a woman sits in a rocking chair. She is finely dressed in a loose bodice with very large puffy sleeves at the shoulders that narrow down the elbow (called leg-o-mutton sleeves) and a matching full, flared skirt trimmed with ruffles, indicating a high fashion style of the 1890s. On the right, two similarly dressed women share one chair, with one of them sitting on the armrest. They wear white blousy shirtwaists, with full sleeves extending down the shoulder and gathered at the wrist (called bishop sleeves), tucked into dark high-waisted skirts. Behind them is a secretary dresser with bookcase and mirror, decorated with portrait photographs. Circa 1890s.
