The image shows two women from the waist up. The woman on the left is standing and is slightly bent forward, operating an iron over a piece of cloth on a table. Her facial features are in focus, and her hair is pulled back. She wears a sleeveless dress that ties at the waist. The woman on the right is seated and leaning over a piece of cloth, holding what seems to be scissors or another tool for sewing. Her hair appears styled similarly, and her facial features are partially obscured by shadow. She wears a dress with short sleeves. Around them, there are fabrics hanging and draped over chairs, and various sewing implements like spools of thread are visible on the table. In the background, there is a mannequin wearing a collared garment.
