Two figures look at a suit of armor

At lower center left, two figures are seen looking up at a medieval suit of armor on display at right. The figure on the right is a man in a top hat who gestures with his right arm, his gloved hand pointing a folded umbrella at the suit’s helmet. He turns is head to face the woman at his left. We view her from behind as she looks up at the display, only the side of her round face visible under her bonnet. At upper right, a second suit of armor is also visible in the background.
