This print shows multiple people, mainly women and children with light skin, depicted in various poses. One tall woman stands in the center with her back to us, wearing a dress with a lace-up back. Other people are shown seated or crouching around the central woman. One smaller figure, likely a child, stands at the bottom of the print. The people all appear to be touching their clothes, perhaps putting them on or taking them off. The background features abstract trees and leafy bushes. The lines of the print are thick and bold against the off-white paper, and it is hard to identify some of the shapes in the print.
