The woman on the right is standing and holding a cloth. All three women have neatly arranged hair and wear headscarves, striped skirts, and blouses. The middle woman also wears a dark cloak. The seated woman wears shiny shoes. The background features a stone wall with visible textures and a cobblestone floor, suggesting an outdoor setting.
