Two women are shown in profile facing left on a veranda; they wear long black kimonos with circular patterns and have high hairstyles. The woman on the left faces right and holds her right arm across her body with her left hand while her right hand holds a fan. The woman on the right holds a fan in her right hand, with her left hand raised and her right leg bent behind her. The veranda has a white railing and a red and green patterned border at the top and bottom; a tree and other greenery are visible in the background. The background includes vertical white banners with Japanese writing. The scene is set against a dark backdrop with hanging circular lanterns.
