This painting shows four young women in old-fashioned clothes. They're sitting and standing in a group. The woman in the front is wearing a white dress and has a headpiece on. The woman behind her is wearing a red dress. The other two women are wearing dark dresses. They're all looking at something, but we can't see what it is. The painting is done in dark colors, with some lighter colors on the women's clothes. The background is dark and blurry. It's hard to tell what's going on in the painting, but it looks like the women are in a serious mood. If you like this painting, you might also like the work of artist Narcisse Virgilio Díaz.
