The image shows an illustration of two women in a garden-like setting, with only their upper bodies visible. The woman in the foreground leans against a netted fence, looking at birds on the ground. She has curly hair in an updo, covered by a flower-adorned hat, and wears a dark long-sleeve dress. The second woman stands behind and to the side, also looking ahead. She has hair under a hat and wears light robes. The background includes dense foliage.
