The image shows two women standing facing each other in profile. The woman on the left is hunched slightly forward with her arms crossed over her abdomen. She has a prominent nose and is wearing a cap and a long dress or coat with a shawl draped over her shoulders. The woman on the right looks surprised, with her mouth slightly open and large eyes. She is wearing a bonnet, a long-sleeved dress, and a textured apron tied around her waist, holding a folded piece of cloth or paper. Both are standing on a cobblestone pattern with a simple background.
