Description: formal evening dress. Joseph is standing next to his wife, who is seated. The red and greed vetical strokes applied by the artist for floor covering is remarkably similar to the floor pictured in the Joseph and prominent leaders painting (Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints) which William probably completed in Nauvoo. Joseph Young was the brother of President Brigham Young.
