Detailed Description
The painting depicts two women in a sunlit, open field rendered in a pointillist style. The overall color palette is dominated by greens, yellows, and light blues, with accents of red and brown. In the foreground, slightly to the left, a woman is seated on the ground, facing right in profile. She has light brown hair, pulled back, and wears a light blue or grey long-sleeved shirt and darker blue or purple pants. Her right hand is raised to her chin, and her gaze is directed towards the woman standing opposite her. To the right, a second woman stands, facing left, with her head slightly bowed. She wears a light blue or grey long-sleeved top and a dark blue or black skirt. A red headscarf with a lighter pattern covers her hair. Her right hand rests on a long, light brown stick or tool that extends downwards. The background features a vast, undulating field of green and yellow grasses, dotted with several trees with green foliage. A line of trees extends from the mid-ground on the left towards the horizon. On the far right, a vertical fence-like structure is visible. The ground beneath the women is a mix of light brown and yellow tones. The light source appears to be from the upper right, casting subtle shadows.
