In this painting, a woman sits in a chair, turned away from the viewer, while another woman stands opposite her. The seated woman wears a dark dress with a large hat, and her back is to us. The standing woman is dressed in a light-colored outfit with a pink scarf. A large white canvas on an easel is positioned between them, with a smaller white canvas hanging above it. The room is filled with various objects, including a colorful rug, a table with a vase, and several other items on the walls. The overall atmosphere of the painting appears to be one of quiet contemplation. This painting is characteristic of the Impressionism movement.
