Two women are shown standing on a stone staircase facing each other. One woman is holding a cigarette and the other has her hand on her hip. Both women have short hairstyles, with one having dark, curly hair and the other with wavy, light-colored hair. The dark-haired woman wears a light-colored top and dark shorts with a patterned shoulder bag, while the light-haired woman wears a button-up shirt with dark shorts and a visible watch on her wrist. The setting is outdoors on a stone staircase with a decorative railing, leading to a stone wall and a shadowy area in the background.
