The image shows two elderly women seated at a table. The woman on the left is in profile, leaning slightly toward the table, while the woman on the right faces forward with her body turned slightly to the left. Both women have wrinkled skin, elongated noses, and prominent facial features. The woman on the left has her hair tied in a kerchief, whereas the woman on the right has curly hair styled with large ringlets. They are dressed in dark, long-sleeved garments that cover their arms up to the wrists. The woman on the right holds a teacup in one hand, while the woman on the left gestures with her hands toward a small dog perched on the table, next to a plate. The background is a simple, lightly shaded area suggesting the interior of a room.
