Each dress has a wide blue collar edged in blue lace, short sleeves, and blue sashes tied in a bow at the waist in the back. They wear their hair up and have bright orange necklaces. The young girls standing in front of them wear bright yellow knee-length dresses with ruffled skirts. The dresses have wide square necklines and short sleeves. The work is signed by the artist on the bottom right [hoyos] and the edition written in the bottom left [65/75].
