Four women stand shoulder to shoulder, each in a tall, wide-brimmed hat of terracotta, olive, cream or black. Shadow from the brims hides their eyes, leaving only their lips and large pale disc earrings catching the light.

Their tunics echo the hats, with one in bold black and cream stripes and another in mustard. Behind them is a thick, scraped wall of sand-colored paint. The repeated figures and earthy palette give the scene a calm, graphic rhythm with a hint of mystery.
