Two women are standing next to a fresh grave in a cemetery. The woman on the left is turned slightly to the left, and the woman on the right is facing forward with her hands clasped together. The woman on the right is wearing a dark headscarf, dark cardigan, patterned dress, and dark shoes. The woman on the left is wearing a plaid dress with her hair tied back. They are surrounded by grass and other graves, with distant hills and a wooden building in the background. The grave has a mound of earth, a circular plaque on a stand, and a wooden marker.
