Woven basket brims with fare
Flowered bonnets covers red hair
Porcelain features with ruby cheeks
Dressed so fine and looking sheik
A pensive look two sisters wait
Their adoring father now is late
Here they sit amidst flowered vine
Watching families savouring time
Elegantly clad in Sunday best
Upon a terrace, a place to rest
Author notes
What a wonderful painting by Pierre-Auguste Renoir.
