Two bedouin women are sitting with their legs crossed on the ground. Both are wearing a veil across their face connected in the center to a veil that covers their hair. The vail on their faces has circular metal coins sown onto it. The dresses are patterned with rectangles and dots, and the women are both wearing jewlery in form of bracelets. Both women are leaning their head against their hands, body language suggesting they are bored or resting. They are facing forward. Each woman has a child on her lap. The woman on the right's child has his arm wrapped around the woman's shoulder and his other hand in his bouth. He is looking to the bottom right and not wearing any clothes. The child on the left is sitting between the womans legs. His mouth is open as though crying out.
