The sculpture portrays two female figures in a dynamic and intertwined position. One figure appears seated with a flowing drape over her lower body, while the other figure is more upright, reaching towards the seated one. Both figures are depicted with elongated and graceful forms. They seem to be engaged in an interaction or gesture, conveying a sense of connection between them. The material of the sculpture appears to be light tan stone or plaster, with a textured surface. The figures are rendered in a style that emphasizes smooth, curvilinear lines and contours. The background features a pattern of small, spherical objects and linear details that frame the figures.

Four women with pale, peach skin, wearing long white dresses, stand or sit on a sunny beach in this wide, horizontal painting. People and carriages are painted as hazy gray silhouettes spread along the beach in the distance. The silhouettes span the left half of the horizon, which comes halfway up the painting. To our right, the water is a pale blue with loose strokes of white, light gray, and ice blue to suggest waves and surf. On the pale sand, three of the women sit close to us, huddled under two broad parasols on a brown blanket. Their bodies face the water, and their features and clothing are loosely painted. The woman closest to us has a white dress with lapis-blue bows down the front and a blue sash tied at her back. Her flat, round, straw-yellow hat is tied onto her head with a black bow. She wears a yellow glove on the hand we can see, and she props one parasol over her far shoulder. The inside of the parasol is bright blue, the outside cream white. The other two women sit together under the second parasol, also cream colored. In the center of the trio, the woman wears an olive-green shawl or wrap, and her reddish-brown hair might be loose over her shoulders. The third seated woman wears a bright red wrap and a dark hat. A bit behind these women, a fourth stands looking toward them or the water. She also wears a long white dress under a vivid red jacket and a small brown cap. She holds her skirt with one hand and touches her hat with another gloved hand. Another loosely painted form farther back along the beach appears to be a woman wearing black and holding a white parasol. The artist signed and dated the painting with the location in the bottom right corner: “W. H. 1874 East Hampton L. I.”
