Two fashionably dressed young women dose on a sofa in a sitting room with wallpapered walls and a rug on the floor. A young man stands behind the sofa and quietly tickles the check of the young woman on the right. The friendship between the two women is illustrated by the long ribbon tied on one of each of their wrists; around their necks, each, too, wears a pendant with miniature portrait of the other. An open book between them on the sofa is titled "The Fair Seducer." An oval mirror hangs on the wall between two windows behind the young man
