A vertically oriented etching in black ink on tan paper depicts two women outdoors. In the center, a nude woman sits facing left, arms raised to adjust a wide-brimmed floral hat. Below her to the right, a second woman in a loose slip crouches, leaning forward with her hair falling over her face as she looks toward her feet. Sketchy lines define the landscape. A signature appears in the lower right.
