The one on the far left has her fingers steepled over her sternum, and is dressed in a blue patterned galabeya with and orange scarf tied over her head, her body angled towards the girl on her right. The girl on the right, older, is dressed in a blue and yellow patterned galabeya with an orange patterned scarf wrapped around her head. She is carrying the smallest girl, who is dressed in a yellow galabeya with an orange scarf wrapped around her head. The girl on the far right, the tallest girl, is dressed in an orange patterned galabeya with a brown and orange patterned scarf wrapped around her head, lifting the end of it to shyly hide the bottom half of her face.They are drawn against a plain black background.
