The image 'Nuns' by Anonymous depicts a central figure of a woman flanked symmetrically by seven other women. All eight figures are dressed in traditional nun attire, characterized by long robes and head coverings. The central figure holds her hands to her chest, while the others hold various objects such as staffs. The entire scene is set against a backdrop that appears to be an interior space with an arched ceiling. The artwork is rendered in shades of gray and black, with a beige border around it that shows signs of wear and tear.
