Detailed Description
Two women stand in a dark green environment. The woman on the left faces forward, with long dark hair falling over her shoulders. Her upper body is bare, revealing a yellowish-green skin tone. She wears a dark blue garment covering her lower body. Her hands hold a dark, shallow platter filled with reddish-orange fruit, possibly mangoes or papayas, at waist level. Her expression is neutral, and she looks directly forward. To her right, slightly behind her, stands a second woman with a similar yellowish-green skin tone and dark hair. A gold earring is visible in her right ear. Her gaze is directed downwards and to her left, towards the fruit. Her upper body is also bare, and a light blue draped garment covers her lower body and wraps around her right arm. In her left hand, she holds a small cluster of light pink flowers. The background consists of broad strokes of dark green foliage, with patches of brighter yellow-green.
