A painting of three seated women in ladder-back chairs, each holding a corner of the large white fabric. The woman on the proper left is sewing with the woman seated next her watching intently. The third woman on the proper right sits with her arm resting on the top splat with her hand by her head. In the background is a young man with his foot propped on the seat of a chair wearing black trousers, a blue shirt and a brown cap. He is standing at a table draped in red fabric with a glass of wine next to the bottle and flowers. There are two large arched windows with several panes in the stucco walls.
