The image depicts a black and white drawing of two women. The woman on the left lies on a bed with her body facing right; she is topless and wears a long skirt, with her left arm resting on her stomach and her right arm on the bed. Her dark hair is pulled back. The woman on the right sits on the bed with her back turned; she wears a dress and a hat. The woman on the left appears to look directly at the viewer. The background is dark with a curtain visible on the left. The edges of the drawing are on a light-colored background.
