There are two women in the image. One woman on the right is facing slightly towards the camera, holding a paper bag. She wears glasses, a hat with a floral decoration, a polka dot dress with a light-colored collar, a dark coat, and a necklace. The other woman on the left has her back turned, with arms crossed. She has curly hair, wears a wide-brimmed hat, a light dress, and carries a handbag. The background shows a city street with buildings, parked cars, and a trolley bus.
