Three elderly women are depicted sitting in chairs, seemingly sleeping or resting. They are seated with their heads tilted to the side or forward. The woman on the left has short hair, a slightly opened mouth, and is wearing a patterned button-up nightgown with socks and shoes. The middle woman also has short, thin, white hair and is dressed in a nightgown, resting with her head tilted forward and covered with a blanket. The woman on the right has short, slightly unkempt hair and wears a nightgown, resting her head against a pillow. The setting is a tiled room, potentially a care facility, with lace covers on the chair backs, a small statue on shelving in the corner, and decorative items on the wall beneath it. The floor is tiled, adding to the simplicity and functional design of the space.
