Two older women face each other across the table, one on the left wrapped in a shawl and the other on the right wearing a headscarf, each with solemn facial expressions. A younger figure sits with head bowed in the foreground, leaning against the chair. On the table are a bowl and a pitcher, and a small cup is held by the woman on the right. A window with panes and a curtain is visible behind the right woman, and a ledge with a candlestick and a small covered object appears behind the left woman.
