The image is an etching depicting two women behind a mesh fence. One woman is leaning forward against the fence, while the other woman stands slightly behind her. Both have their heads turned to the side. The woman in the foreground wears a hat with flowers and has styled hair in an updo, along with detailed clothing. The other woman also wears a hat and period attire. Birds are in the fenced area, and the background shows detailed foliage and trees, creating an outdoor setting. The etching is on a cream-colored mat with the title "Le Jardin d’Acclimatation" and the artist's name "Bracquemond" inscribed in the corners.
