The image shows two identical full-length profile illustrations of a woman standing and facing each other. Both women have one arm outstretched and the other resting on their belly, holding a round basket. They have their hair styled back and up, fine lines defining their facial features. They wear period clothing with long-sleeved peplum blouses, ankle-length gathered skirts, simple shoes, and decorative bows at the end of the sleeves. In the background, there is a social scene with multiple people engaged in various activities such as conversation and dancing outdoors among trees.
