The image shows a sketch of two women seated next to each other, depicted from head to toe. The woman on the left has short curly hair and faces towards the woman on the right. The other woman wears a wide-brimmed hat, obscuring her hair, and her head is turned towards her companion. Both women wear dresses with puffed sleeves and mid-length skirts, along with flat shoes with straps. Their facial features are detailed and shaded, contributing to an etched look. The sketch has minimal background detail, possibly suggesting a wall or bench.
