Description: Jane and Maria Osborne and their governess, all with displeased expressions on their faces. One sister is standing with her chin on one hand. She and the governess, Miss Wirt, are looking towards the right of the picture, staring in the direction in which Amelia Sedley just left. The other sister is seated on a cushioned chair, holding a piece of cloth or paper and looking back at the others. On the floor by her side there is a small dog.
