Three individuals are depicted in the image. On the left, a man is leaning towards the center, holding papers and facing two women. The woman in the center has her hair up and wears a headscarf or bonnet and a long-sleeved dress, looking towards the man. On the right, another woman sits with her head resting on her hands on a small table, with a book beside her. She has long, flowing hair and wears a long gown. The setting is indoors, showing a tall, multi-paneled window with heavy curtains, and patterned wallpaper in the background. A small, round table is placed between the seated figures.
