Two women are shown in conversation. The woman on the left is in profile and leans slightly forward towards the woman on the right. She wears a headscarf and holds a basket. The woman on the right faces forward with her head turned towards the other woman. Both are dressed in layered clothing, and the background depicts a busy outdoor setting, possibly a market.
