The image shows two women from the chest up. The woman in the foreground is slightly turned toward the camera with her head facing forward, looking directly at the viewer. She has a prominent hairstyle with voluminous curls. The woman is wearing a white collared shirt with a checkered bow tie and a sweater draped over her shoulders. She holds a small item between her fingers. In the background, the second woman is partially visible, with parted lips. She has similar voluminous curls and is wearing earrings, a coat, and a bracelet. The background is out of focus but appears to be a public outdoor setting.
