Three female figures are shown from head to toe, standing gracefully facing forward with their arms raised. Each supports a vine adorned with fruits and foliage. The central figure has a serene expression, closed lips, and shut eyes. Her hair is styled in an intricate updo. The two figures on the sides also have delicate expressions and long flowing hair. They are wearing loose, draped dresses cinched at the waist. The setting is a natural environment with stylized trees and plants surrounding them. No visible accessories or objects are being held by the figures beyond the vine above them.
