The image shows a side view of two women in a partial body frame. The woman on the left is seated on a simple wooden chair with a high back. She has a balanced posture with her face turned towards the other woman. Her facial features are calmly depicted with fine lines, a pointed nose, and a defined chin. Her hair is styled in a classic bun at the back of her head with a few strands draping onto her upper back. She is wearing a brown dress with puffed sleeves. The other woman is standing slightly turned towards the seated figure, bending forward slightly. Her facial features are similarly stylized, and she is wearing a bonnet that covers most of her hair. Her attire is a long pink dress with a broad collar. The seated woman holds a small pair of scissors in one hand. The background features rich green drapery and the floor is decorated with a geometric pattern in muted tones of blue and white.
