Women in Victorian Gardens

In this tranquil outdoor setting reminiscent of late 19th-century gardens, three women are immersed in quiet activities that reflect leisurely pursuits during an era when such attire was standard. One woman sits at a small table knitting intently while another reads aloud from what appears to be a book or paper. A third individual is seated comfortably against her own bench, perhaps resting after engaging in needlework as well. They're surrounded by lush greenery including trees which suggest it might even be springtime. Their clothing—characteristic of the period's fashion—is rich in detail: full skirts adorned with lace cuffs; fitted bodices accented with bows around the waist; bonnets worn atop their heads—alluding to social norms yet also hinting at personal styles within these constraints.
