Merveilleuses playing badminton in a garden

Badminton. Merveilleuse in flimsy dresses play a game of badminton in a garden. Several have their hair in the fashionable short cut known as the martyr or victime. In old times we played without raquets, using our hands to hit the ball or shuttlecock in the version called Palm. Now we are more delicate, we have raquets decorated with gold and silk.
