Two women are shown in profile, facing each other with their hands in front of them. They have elaborate hairstyles partially covered by headscarves or bonnets. Both women wear long-sleeved dresses with fitted bodices, full skirts, and aprons with small bundles attached. The background features a simple landscape with a few figures in the distance and a tree with bare branches.
