The portrait of the girl in the blue dress sitting with a dog in her lap depicts Emilia Fredrika Aurora De Geer (1782-1823), later married to Count Carl Fredrik Piper. The other portrait of the girl with the parrot likely depicts her sister Charlotta Aurora (1779-1834), first married to N. Gyldenstolpe, later Count G. af Wetterstedt.
