She is leaning towards the other woman on the right, resting her head on the woman's lap. The woman on the right is sitting on the floor, wearing a black and white checkered kimono, with her hair styled up and her right hand wiping away tears. There are some objects on the floor in front of them, including what appear to be a comb and some coins. The background of the print is beige, and there is Japanese text in the top-left corner.
