caption: The image shows two women sitting on a bench, one of them holding a book in her hand. The background of the painting is a wall, and the woman on the left is wearing a white dress with a blue shawl draped over her shoulders. Her hair is pulled back in a bun and she has a gentle expression on her face. The other woman is looking away from the camera, her hands clasped together in front of her. The bench they are sitting on is a light wood color and the wall behind them is painted a light blue.
