The image shows two young girls seated on a couch or chair. Their full bodies are displayed, with lighter sketching on the lower portions. The girl on the left is seated in a relaxed manner with crossed legs, facing forward. The girl on the right sits upright, slightly angled towards the first girl, with her hands together on her lap. Both have delicate facial features and long hair falling over their shoulders. They wear dark dresses with light collars and elaborate hats with floral arrangements. The background is loosely sketched, emphasizing the detailed portrayal of the girls.
