The image shows two women standing side by side, facing away from the viewer. Both women are holding large baskets on their heads with their arms, balanced on their hips. Their hair is styled up in curls with decorative elements. They are wearing long-sleeved, fitted tops with peplum detailing over long skirts. The skirts are gathered, adding volume to their attire. There are small figures in the background that appear to be people in conversation or movement. The scene is set against a plain, light-colored backdrop, with no additional background elements present.
