!["According to the inscription (bottom left), this painting shows ‘Two Ladies of the Cholmondeley Family, Who were born the same day, Married the same day, And brought to Bed [gave birth] the same day’. To mark this dynastic event, they are formally presented in bed, their babies wrapped in scarlet fabric. Identical at a superficial glance, the lace, jewellery and eye colours of the ladies and infants are in fact carefully differentiated. The format echoes tomb sculpture of the period. The identity of the women is unclear." https://www.tate.org.uk/visit/tate-britain/display/historic-early-modern-british-art/1545](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:xkjqfvtcfakukddedpzrefm2/bafkreiahayiw3ft7tqy6o2pcx4y3hn7tz6p5w37ghdxqsv5b53qbkbs5zu)
