Two women are shown standing behind a slightly inclined fence, facing a group of colorful birds. The woman in the foreground has dark hair and a hat with a yellow decoration, wearing a dark dress with puffy sleeves and gloves. She has her chin resting on her hands. The second woman, behind her, wears a white hat with a veil and lighter-colored clothing. The background has lush foliage and larger trees on the right. Several vividly colored birds are in the foreground.
