A horizontally oriented oil painting depicts five women with light skin tones in flowing white robes against a monochromatic ochre background. On the left, one woman carries a vessel on a tray toward a woman standing behind a girl holding a bowl. Center, a tall woman holds a cup aloft beside a smoking tripod. Far right, another woman kneels to place a wreath on a pedestal topped with a small seated figure.
