Image description
The artwork features two women seen from behind, with their full figures visible. The woman on the left has reddish-brown hair styled up and is wearing a long, flowing dress with a fitted waist and puffed sleeves. She also wears a choker around her neck, and her hand is positioned on her hip, dressed in a white glove. The woman on the right has dark hair styled under a hat and is wearing a long, dark coat. The background depicts a scene with several other figures and a hint of a wooden railing, with vibrant colors and impressionistic brushstrokes.
