The image shows an etching of two women depicted from the waist up. The woman on the left appears in a partial profile view, seated and turned slightly towards the right. She features defined facial contours with arched eyebrows, a straight nose, and large eyes, with her dark hair parted in the middle and styled in a classic, smooth fashion framing her face. The woman on the right is shown resting her head on her own hand, with flowing long hair cascading around her face. Her facial features are more obscured and blurred in comparison to the woman on the left. They both wear dark, draped garments. A hand in the foreground holds what appears to be a quill or feather. In the background, there is a large, rounded glass vessel on a table surface. The etching uses intricate line work to create a textured, atmospheric background.
