IT WAS SO COLD! The identically dressed and coiffured young women were most likely siblings yet I don’t think that they were twins. They are so blue from exposure in an unheated space where they posed for their sixth size portrait that I can hear their teeth chattering. Gotcha!

While the lass on the left was resolute and remained motionless, her companion blinked! Gold was added to their brooches and rings. The bottom of a leather case remains. Ample tarnish, minor mat marks and a couple mold mites are visible. The waviness upper right was caused by wrinkles in the fabric hung to neutralize the space behind the gals.
