Two women sit on a floor next to an open window. The woman on the right crouches, looking down at a cloth item, possibly a garment, that the other woman is holding. The other woman kneels, facing right. A black lacquer box sits on the floor to the right. The floor has two trays, one with a teacup. The window has a vertical pink bar near the center, showing a railing and flowering bush and people working outside. The women wear traditional Japanese clothing with patterns, one in pink and black, the other striped.
