This painting shows a group of women in an art studio. They are all dressed in long, dark dresses and are standing or sitting around a table with art supplies. One woman is holding a palette and brush, while another is looking at a painting on an easel. The room is dimly lit, with a warm glow coming from the left side of the painting. The walls are a light brown color, and there are several paintings on the wall behind the women. The overall atmosphere is one of quiet concentration, as if the women are deeply engaged in their artistic pursuits. The artist who created this painting is E. Phillips Fox.
