The image shows five women seated in a row, facing towards the right. They are sitting on chairs around a fireplace. Four of the women have their heads slightly tilted towards each other. They have dark hair and wear long, dark dresses with white collars. One woman is holding an object. The scene is indoors with a fireplace on the right and a table with candles and a book on the left. There is a chandelier above. The walls are plain, and there is a partially visible window on the left.
