The image shows five women who are nuns. Four of them are sitting and interacting with each other, while one is standing to the right holding a piece of paper. They have serene expressions while wearing traditional wimples and veils, along with flowing gowns. The room they are in is richly decorated with curtains, a chair, an open book on a table, and a small harp. There is also a basket with fabric or yarn on the floor. The background features wood-paneled walls with a relief or frieze depicting clouds and cherubs.
