The image is an etching of four women. Three women are seated and one is standing. The standing woman is gazing into the distance, her body visible from head to toe. She wears a headscarf and traditional clothing. The seated women also wear headscarves and dresses, and one has her face covered with her hands. They are near a stone structure or wall with a wooden post nearby. In the background, there are loose lines indicating a landscape. The scene conveys a quiet, contemplative moment outdoors.
