The image is a drawing by Winslow Homer titled "Mending the Nets". Two women are sitting on a wooden block. The woman on the right sits on the block with her left arm raised to her shoulder. She has long wavy hair and wears a dress with short sleeves. The woman on the left sits on the ground with her head down. She has short hair and wears a dress with a collar; her shoes are to her side. The woman on the right holds a fishing net on her lap. A ball of string sits on the ground before her. A large pile of netting is to the left. The background appears to be an outdoor setting with a large body of water.
