Three women are standing closely together, captured from the waist up. The woman on the left has her eyes closed, short-cropped hair, and is holding a piece of cloth. The center woman has her hand covering her eyes while wearing a ruffled white blouse. The woman on the right has one hand near her mouth, with her eyes closed and hair in a high bun. In the background, there is a partially open door with an "EXIT" sign above it, a bulletin board, and some chairs against the wall. A window on the wall reflects another figure with hand covering the face, replicating the gesture of the women in the foreground.
