The image shows three seated women from waist up. The woman on the left faces slightly downward, the central woman is in the middle, and the woman on the right is in profile. The woman on the left has closed eyes and wears a head covering and a cloak with a clasp. The woman in the middle has her face partially obscured and wears a similar bonnet. The woman on the right has a side view with a large head covering and a cloak. There is no visible jewelry. In the background, there is a simple room with a chair's back visible and shaded wall sections.
