The image is a sketch depicting two women in a room. The woman in the foreground is shown in full body, standing with one hand on her hip and the other resting on the back of a chair. Her stance is relaxed, and she has long hair that falls around her shoulders. Her facial features are defined with an expression that looks directly at the viewer. The second woman is seated in the background, partially turned to the side with her chin resting on her folded arms, which are laid atop a chair. Her hair is of similar length, and her expression appears contemplative. The seated woman is wearing a garment that appears to be a short dress. The room includes an easel behind the standing woman and the walls are textured, suggesting an artist's studio setting. There are no visible jewelry items or objects being held by either of the women.
