Three full-body figures are shown across the image. The first figure on the left stands in profile, facing right, holding a staff, with her face partially obscured by a shawl. The central figure faces forward, holding a baby. The figure on the right faces slightly left, holding a basket-like object. All three women wear historical attire. The background is plain, and the artist's signature is visible in the bottom left corner.
