About the piece

Painted around 1905 by Henry Tonks, this work is a masterful example of late British Impressionism. It depicts two women in a domestic interior, one seated and holding a crystal ball while the other stands beside her, all rendered with a shimmering light that emphasizes the rich textures of the teal dress and white blouse.
