A vertically oriented gum tempera painting depicts two women with medium skin tones on a white terrace. To our left, a pensive woman in a red skirt and sheer veil sits on a jewel-studded platform. To our right, a companion stands in a purple dress and yellow shawl. Scalloped arches frame green trees beneath a yellow and gray sky. A thin orange border runs along the edge.
