She holds a black box with jewels and a string of pearls. The woman on the left stands behind her, wearing a red dress with white lace. She has her hands on the other woman's shoulders. The window shows a building and birds flying in the sky. The woman in gold is looking down at the box and pearls. The woman in red is looking at her. The room is dark, with only a little light coming from the window. You can learn more about the artist Cesare Dell'Acqua.
