The image shows two women seated. The woman on the left wears round glasses and a dark hat while the woman on the right has wavy hair and a small hat. Both women are dressed in dark clothing. In the background is a sign that reads "PELHAM BAY PARK" in capital letters. The setting appears to be a dimly lit interior, possibly a subway or train carriage, with blurred lights and reflections visible in the background.
