Scene in a classical setting depicting three young women on a verandah with a heavy marble seat, overlooking the sea in the background. The seat is covered with a large tiger skin on which one of the women sits. She is wearing a white dress, with yellow fabric wrapped around her middle, and a yellow band in her hair. She leans back against the exterior wall of the building on the left, a ball of wool in her hand, which she is winding with the second woman who sits to the right.
