This is a drawing of two figures holding baskets. The drawing is centered on a plain, textured background. Two figures are depicted in a simple, linear style with thin, orange lines. Both figures are shown from the waist up, each holding a basket brimming with flowers and foliage. The figure on the left has wavy hair and is dressed in a sleeveless garment, while the figure on the right wears a headband or garland. The drawing conveys a sense of serenity and harmony between the figures, with an emphasis on balance and symmetry in their poses and facial expressions. There is a distinct decorative quality to the drawing, with an interest in stylized forms and an economy of line.
