As in other individual and group portraits by Edouart, the sitters carry props: books, paper, spectacles, or a sewing bag. The silhouette hung above the sofa may represent a deceased relative. Members of the Robeson and Lea families were Quakers from the Philadelphia and Wilmington, Delaware, area. Their clothing marked their faith: note the distinctive bonnets that the five women wear. While disavowing other forms of portraiture, Quakers joined the rest of America in the \u00e2\u0080\u009crage of silhouettes.\u00e2\u0080\u009d The Spartan simplicity of the art form aligned with the humility of their faith."}, {"label": "Exhibition Label", "content": "Al configurar sus siluetas, Auguste Edouart \u00e2\u0080\u009cdecid\u00c3\u00ada en [su] mente los puntos que deb\u00c3\u00adan acercarse y los que deb\u00c3\u00adan retirarse\u00e2\u0080\u009d.

En el caso de las familias Robeson y Lea, parientes casados entre s\u00c3\u00ad, parece que Edouart cort\u00c3\u00b3 las siluetas en dos d\u00c3\u00adas. Como en otros de sus retratos individuales o grupales, los modelos llevan accesorios: libros, papel, gafas o un bolso de costura. La silueta que cuelga sobre el sof\u00c3\u00a1 podr\u00c3\u00ada representar a un familiar difunto. Los miembros de las familias Robeson y Lea eran cu\u00c3\u00a1queros del \u00c3\u00a1rea de Filadelfia y Wilmington, en Delaware. Su vestimenta identifica su religi\u00c3\u00b3n (n\u00c3\u00b3tense los t\u00c3\u00adpicos gorros de las cinco mujeres).
