The woman to the left stands with her left hand raised and her right hand upon her hip. The woman to the right sits upon the floor with her arms resting upon her bent knees. Both women are wearing saris and they each have drapped the pallav over their head in North Indian fashion. The print reveals a great deal of manipulation in the exposure and the retouching of the image. The lower half of the composition is darker, suggesting a longer exposure during printing than the upper half of the page. The photographer had attempted to hand tint the upper half of the image behind the standing figure in order to accentuate her.
