The image shows a portrait of two women from the waist up. The woman on the left is standing in profile with her left hand on her hip, looking towards the other woman. She has distinct facial features with prominent cheekbones, styled hair, and wears a high-collared dress with puffed sleeves and vertical stripes. The woman on the right is mostly in silhouette facing the first woman, with less defined features, and wearing a dark, cape-like garment. The background has a hatching pattern for texture and depth.
