The image is a sketch showing two women standing closely together, facing slightly forward with their heads turned towards each other. The woman on the left has short hair, and the woman on the right has shoulder-length hair. They are both dressed in dresses or long coats. The woman on the left holds a rectangular object in her right hand. The background features a softly drawn, abstract depiction of a building facade with the word "MODERNE" faintly visible. The drawing is sketched with light lines and minimal detail.
