This black and white studio portrait depicts four adult females positioned in a vertically stacked arrangement against a uniformly dark background. From the bottom foreground, a woman with long, dark hair, tilted head, and a subtle smile looks slightly upwards and to the viewer's right. Immediately above and slightly to her left, a second woman with dark hair and bangs looks directly forward with a neutral expression; her right arm is visible, resting on the lower woman's left shoulder. Above the second woman and slightly to her right, a third woman with curly dark hair smiles towards the viewer; her left arm extends downwards, appearing to rest on the shoulders of the woman below her. The uppermost subject, positioned to the right, has long, dark, straight hair, with her face partially obscured by shadow as she looks slightly to the viewer's left with a faint smile. The subjects are in close proximity, indicative of a posed group portrait. The scene is located in Cutrofiano, Italy.
