Two women are depicted in the image. The first woman is standing with her weight on her left leg, facing to the side, with her right leg bent. She has styled hair with a headband or ribbon, and is engaged in conversation with the second woman. She wears a form-fitting dress, high heels, and carries a small bag. The second woman faces forward, holding onto a vertical pole with both hands. She wears a blouse with a collar and a long skirt. The background includes sketch-like elements indicating a public urban setting, possibly a bus or tram.
