The painting depicts three women in a church setting. The woman in the foreground wears a dark shawl and a red dress, holding a book in her lap. Behind her, another woman is dressed in blue, with a gold headpiece. A third figure, clad in a brown hooded cloak, stands to the right. The scene is set against a backdrop of stone walls and columns, with a glimpse of a window on the right side. The overall atmosphere is somber and contemplative.
