"Two women, seemingly courtesans, stand together by an arcade of the Piazza, Covent Garden, a place notorious for brothels. One stands full face her features, hair, and the hat which frames her hair like a halo are intended to suggest a sunflower. She holds up a small parasol with a hinged stick. The other, directed to the left, holds a closed parasol; she wears a cylindrical bonnet projecting over face and neck. Both wear clinging high-waisted dresses, with bare necks, short sleeves, long gloves, and trailing skirts. Behind is a man arranging pot-plants for sale in the market; where are also conifers. The portico of the church and adjacent buildings form a background."--British Museum online interview
