Three women are shown in a seated position. The woman on the left stands with her body slightly turned, holding onto a railing, with bobbed hair. The central woman has long flowing hair and leans towards the woman on the right. The woman on the right sits, supporting herself on an elbow, with an intricate updo. They wear draped clothing and are surrounded by a sculptural, fountain-like setting with water flowing around them, amid carved details and natural elements like branches and floral motifs. The background is filled with ornate designs and vegetation.
