Two Women in Late Eighteenth Century Dress n.d.

"Two Women in Late Eighteenth Century Dress" is a watercolor on paper by William Edward Frost, currently located at the Art Institute of Chicago. The artwork depicts two women in profile, standing in a landscape setting, dressed in the fashion of the late 18th century. The composition is dominated by the blue hues used by Frost, which create a sense of depth and atmosphere. The women are rendered in a loose, gestural style, typical of Frost's work, which contrasts with the more detailed rendering of the women's clothing. The artwork is a fine example of Frost's skill in capturing the grace and elegance of 18th-century fashion.
