The image depicts two women sitting closely together on the ground. The woman on the left has one arm around the shoulder of the woman on the right and the other around a dog lying beside her. Both women are looking slightly upward and to the left. The woman on the left has curly hair, while the one on the right wears a headscarf. They have soft expressions and delicate features. Both are dressed in flowing gowns, with the woman on the right holding a folded piece of fabric or a book. A dog lays at their feet, partially covered with fabric. The background shows a landscape with clouds, a large tree, rolling hills, and trees.
