An 18th-century portrait of a white woman, facing the right edge of the painting. Much of her brown hair is visible under a white cap draped with pearls. She wears a scoop-necked white dress under a light blue drape, fastened at the right shoulder with a metallic clasp decorated with a pearl that matches a similar embellishment at the center front of the white dress.

A half-length seated portrait of a young woman in a white gown with blue trim and a gauzy white neck scarf, wearing a large white hat with a wreath of blue ribbon. Her arms rest on a desk or table in front of her, with the left over the right; in her right hand she holds a white flower on its stem. Her body turns away from the desk, toward her right, and her head turns to her right to gaze at the viewer.
