Detailed Description
Two women are positioned in the foreground against a green landscape. The woman on the left, who appears older, stands slightly in front of the woman on the right. She has long, dark hair that falls over her shoulders and a face with a yellowish-green complexion and dark eyes. Her mouth is unsmiling. She wears a long-sleeved, high-necked blue garment with subtle floral patterns in a lighter blue. Her hands, also yellowish-green, are clasped in front of her. The woman on the right, who appears younger, stands slightly behind and to the right of the first woman. She has long, reddish-brown hair and a face with a yellowish-green complexion and dark eyes. Her mouth is closed in a neutral expression. She wears a long-sleeved, orange dress with a ruffled white collar. Her left hand rests gently on the left woman's right arm. The background on the left side includes a small, thatched-roof hut with yellow and brown tones, nestled among green foliage. In front of the hut, a plant with white flowers and large, brown-orange leaves is visible. The rest of the background is dominated by a bright green field with patches of darker green trees and bushes, under a blue sky with hints of white clouds. The palette includes greens, blues, oranges, and earthy tones.
