Description: 
Photograph taken in a garden with rich vegetation. It shows Minnie (Hermine, Herminia) Eramian (1903-2000), and her mother Margarita Eramian (née Carletti) (1868-1954). Minnie is sitting on a cushion and is wearing a calf-length dress made of a white, light material. It has a V-shaped opening with a collar, elbow-length sleeves with embroidered edges and around the waist a belt of the same fabric, tied with a bow at the back. The hem of the dress is also decorated with embroidery. She is further wearing thin bracelets on both her wrists, as well as a watch on her left wrist and a brooch (?) on the left side of her chest. High-heeled shoes with laces complete this fine, light outfit. She is also holding a bag. The middle-aged mother is wearing a western-style, long white dress made of a light material and with loose sleeves that reach her elbows. Encircling her waist, or rather a bit higher, is a dark-coloured belt. Margarita has curly hair, which is caught up. She is sitting in an armchair with her left arm resting on a round table, on which is standing a little dog. On the back of the armchair is spread a piece of fine white lace.
