The image shows two full-body figures of women kneeling on the ground. The woman on the left has her head bowed and covers her face with her hands, sitting slightly behind the other. Her hair is hidden beneath a scarf. The woman on the right is kneeling closer to a large tree with notices or documents tacked to it; she is leaning forward with one hand on the ground. Her head is also covered with a scarf, and her hair is not visible. Both women are wearing long dresses with headscarves, and there is a pair of shoes on the ground nearby alongside a basket or coiled object. In the background, a bare tree branch extends overhead. The scene has a textured, cross-hatched rendering, giving it a somber tone. The distant ground and undefined sky provide a muted backdrop to the scene.
