The woman on the left sits on a low platform, playing a stringed instrument. The woman in the middle sits on the floor, with her left hand raised near her face. The woman on the right sits cross-legged on the floor with her hands in her lap. The fourth woman kneels on the floor, facing the other women. On the floor in front of the women are several objects, including a low table with objects on it, a cup, and a box. In the background, there is a wall with a large window divided into four sections, through which the faces of several men are visible. The men appear to be watching the women. The room has a green floor and beige walls.
