The image shows two women from the waist up, engaged in conversation. The woman on the left is slightly turned towards the viewer, wearing a bonnet. Her face features fine lines suggestive of age and her hair is not visible under the bonnet. She is cloaked in a patterned shawl and holds a large, wicker basket. The woman on the right stands facing the left, her profile showing lightly aged features. Her hair is mostly hidden under a bonnet, with only her tied back hair visible at the nape. She is dressed in dark clothing, including a shawl wrapped around her shoulders, with her hands clasped together in front of her. Both women are standing near a doorway, part of which is shaded, against a background of partially visible vertical siding. The scene is depicted in a sketch or drawing style, with the top of the image labeled "ACTUALITÉS."
