Two African women sitting and directly facing the viewer, relaxed and talking. The one on the left is seated on her knees, with her back straight, and her hands folded in her lap. She is wearing only jewelry like her necklaces and the bands around her forearms. The woman next to her seems to be more relaxed, leaning on one side with her arms gathered to the other side, also looking at the viewer, and dressed like her counterpart. Their hair is styled in corkscrews. Their skin is colored with black and blue ink.
