Two women in traditional Japanese clothing, kimonos, are sitting on a floor indoors. The woman in front sits on the floor with her knees bent and her feet tucked under her kimono. She faces left and slightly down, her hands near her feet. She has long, dark hair and wears a light-colored kimono with green trim and white flowers. Behind her, another woman sits on a higher level, possibly on a tatami or a raised floor. This woman faces forward and to the left. Her kimono is light-colored with green trim and an image of a bird. She has long, dark hair. The background includes a sliding door with a patterned panel and a screen with a floral design. The color palette is muted, with shades of green, beige, and light brown.
