DescriptionA formal portrait of two small children (John and Frances Powell) posed in a traditional sitting. John Powell is featured as an infant seated on an ornate balloon backed wooden chair. The chair back is upholstered with a flower motif of pink, red and white roses. Frances Powell stands to the right of the chair in a pastel pink dress and pearl necklace. She is perched on top of a foot rest and leaning in towards her brother with her hand resting on the back of the chair. At the left on the floor is tiered glass bowl filled with various fruits. In the far background at the right is an idealized landscape featuring fenced pastures of green grass with tall conical trees.On View
