The other has a more elaborate and longer gown, with a festooned flounce. Her hat is a small fluted plateau with ribbon or lace tied under the chin. Walking towards them (from left) are a civilian with a lady whose small bonnet is covered with a long lace scarf falling well below the waist. She wears a tunic dress, the edge vandyked, over a plain skirt. Her companion wears long gaiters.

Both civilians wear the usual flowerpot hat, and coat with long tails. In the background is a lake. From a series of 30 plates satirizing fashions observed in Paris by Aaron Martinet (1762 - 1841).
