The image shows two individuals in a street setting. Both individuals are visible from head to toe. The person on the left stands with one arm raised to support a large basket balanced on their head. This individual has short hair and is dressed in a long-sleeved garment with vertical stripes and a long apron over it. They hold a smaller object in their free hand. The person on the right is standing with their back partially turned to the viewer, leaning slightly towards the left person. They have short hair and wear a hat, a collared shirt, and trousers. An apron is tied around their waist, and they carry two large flat, rounded objects under their right arm. The background depicts a cobblestone street and a textured wall.
