The image features two women shown from the waist up. The woman on the left has her face visible in profile, with her hair styled in an up-do with a decorative piece, likely a hair pin. She wears earrings and an off-the-shoulder dress with draped sleeves and a fitted bodice. Her body is angled to the left with her right arm raised above her head and left arm extended outwards. The woman on the right is shown from the back, with her head slightly turned and hair in a bun. She holds a shallow bowl with both hands raised to shoulder height and wears a loose-fitting, off-the-shoulder garment. The background is plain, on neutral beige paper.
