Three women are shown from head to toe, standing indoors. The woman on the right is standing on tiptoe, extending her right arm upward, while her left hand holds some papers. Her facial features include a prominent nose and curly hair tied back. She is dressed in a long-sleeved, ankle-length dress with vertical stripes. The woman in the middle is slightly hunched forward and has a bonnet tied around her head. She wears a shawl over her shoulders and is looking in the direction of the woman on the right. The woman on the left is also facing the woman on the right, with her hair tied back into a bun. She wears a blouse with puffed sleeves and a dark long skirt. Her hands are clasped together, and she has a somewhat amused expression. The background suggests vertical wooden planks or a paneled wall, with a small, round pedestal table between the women.
