The image shows a detailed drawing of two women standing against a wall. Both women are upright, facing downward, with their arms crossed in front of them. The woman on the left has a shadow on the wall beside her and neatly combed hair pulled back. The woman on the right appears to have her hair covered, possibly with a headscarf. They wear long gowns with long sleeves and stand on a paved stone path. In the background is a curved wall with a darker area suggesting foliage or trees above it. Several additional figures appear to be watching from above the curved wall with detailed facial features. The setting is monochromatic.
