The image shows two women indoors. One woman is seated at a table, while the other stands behind her. The seated woman has light brown curly hair and wears a white gown. The standing woman has curly hair, a hat with feathers, and wears a white blouse with a yellow skirt. Both women have delicate facial features. The room has a wooden table, an ornate chair, a dresser with a bottle, and a wrapped box with red flowers. A blue drape falls from the ceiling in the background.
