The image features two women shown standing from head to waist in a natural setting. The woman in the foreground is on the right, leaning her arms on a netted barrier. She has delicate facial features, intricate frilled hair, and wears a hat with floral decorations. She is dressed in textured, dark clothing. Behind her, the second woman is partially obscured by foliage, also wearing a flowing garment and a large decorative hat on her styled hair. Various exotic birds like peacocks and pheasants are depicted to the right of the women amidst trees and bushes. The background is filled with shrubs and leaves, creating a lush, ornate setting.
