The image shows two women standing facing each other. The woman on the left has hair styled up and wears a hat with a feather. She is wearing a high-collared dress with puffed sleeves and holding the hem of her skirt. The woman on the right has a similar hairstyle under a hat. She wears a form-fitting dress with a lighter cloth cravat or collar and is holding a rectangular box. The background has floral elements on the right and several mice sketched along the bottom.
