A color woodblock print depicting two women. The woman on the left has her hair pulled back into a low bun, secured with two white sticks. She wears a kimono with a light-orange background and a patterned underside; the obi is striped. The woman on the right stands slightly hunched, wearing a black and salmon-colored kimono; she has a green underskirt, and her hair pulled back into a high bun. A maid or younger woman stands to her left, holding a square tray. Behind the women is a reddish-brown structure; a bamboo fence is to the right. A tree branch curves from the top center. The background is colored beige. The artist's signature is on the right.
