The image displays a partial view of two women's upper bodies, mainly focusing on their heads and shoulders. One woman is seated with her head slightly turned to the side, and the other woman is standing or leaning toward her, their heads close together. The woman on the left has long hair, while the woman on the right has her face partially obscured. Both women are wearing large brimmed hats with floral decorations. The seated woman appears to be adjusting the brim of her hat with one hand. The artwork is an etching with delicate swirling line work defining the figures and their surroundings. The background features expressive swirling lines, adding movement and depth to the composition, with no distinct objects visible beyond the figures.
