This painting shows a scene with two women. One is standing, the other sitting. The standing woman wears an orange robe with a black sash, while the sitting woman has a white robe with a black sash. They are indoors, with a window and a roof visible. The colors are muted, with shades of orange, black, and white. A quiet detail is the standing woman holding a fan, while the sitting woman is looking down, possibly reading. This subtle interaction between the two women adds a sense of calm to the scene.
