A floral pattern adorns the sleeves and lower hem. The woman on the right wears a kimono with green and peach-colored floral designs. Both women have black hair styled in buns on top of their heads. They stand in front of a low wall with a large window looking out onto a tree with long hanging branches. Japanese characters are written vertically on the right side of the image. The artist's signature is written near the bottom right. A small rectangular seal is located in the bottom-left corner. The background of the print is a light beige color.
