Mary, wearing a dress of purple and red over a white embroidered blouse and a green cloth draped over her left arm, holds an orange blossom in her hand. She turns to face Martha who wears a red garment over a white blouse and a brown cloak. Toilet articles on the table include a bowl, a comb and a mirror. A brilliant light is reflected in the mirror and illuminates the face and bodice of Mary and the right hands and shoulder of Martha.
