Two young girls are shown side by side, one seated in the foreground and the other standing just behind her, both turned slightly to the left of the viewer. The girl in front wears a black dress trimmed with pale blue ruffles and a white collar, her hands folded in her lap and her gaze directed outward, her face softly illuminated to reveal flushed cheeks and a calm, composed expression. Behind her, the second girl stands in a brown dress with a white collar and black ribbon, her head turned in profile and her features rendered with a gentle, almost blurred softness, as if caught in a moment of quiet thought.

Both girls have their hair pulled back, and each wears a ribbon at the neck; the girl in front has a red accent at her collar and a silver belt buckle, while the girl behind is adorned with a gold belt and a dark bow in her hair. A wooden chair appears at the right edge, its curved back partly visible in the lower corner, while behind the figures, a vase of white flowers sits on a table, their petals rendered with loose, textured brushwork. Yellow flowers peek out from behind the seated girl's left arm, adding a touch of brightness to the otherwise muted palette.

The background is dominated by a patterned wallpaper in tones of beige and gray, its vertical stripes and leafy motifs painted with broad, visible strokes that contrast with the more finely worked faces and hands. Light enters from the left, creating subtle highlights on the girls' faces and casting gentle shadows that give volume to their forms. The composition is carefully balanced, with the girls' dark dresses anchoring the lower half of the canvas and their faces forming a diagonal line that leads upward and back into space.

The artist’s signature appears in the lower right corner, painted in a warm orange-red that stands out against the brown of the chair. Brushstrokes are smooth and controlled in the depiction of the girls’ faces and hands, while looser, more textured marks are visible in the background and the rendering of the flowers. The overall color scheme is subdued, dominated by blacks, browns, and grays, with small accents of white, blue, and yellow providing contrast and visual interest.
