- Description:
- Two young women in a dance pose wearing flower-patterned kimono and striped skirts. The woman on the right has a more dynamic pose: her left hand is raised, palm out, to the left of her face and her right hand is out parallel to her hip, holding her partner's hand. The woman on the right is holding her friend's hand in front, while her left arm extends behind her friend. The two are looking directly into the camera with serious attention. Their clothes are hand colored in delicate pinks and blues.
- Notes:
- Mounted, hand-colored albumen print.
