Two women skate hand in hand in side profile, gliding in a long stride with each one arm stretched out for balance. One wears a brick-red belted coat and beret with a green-and-ochre striped scarf; the other a dark forest-green coat and knit beanie with a peach-and-red scarf, both scarves streaming behind in loose parallel strokes. Their faces are tiny and simply drawn, with rosy cheeks.

Small ochre snowflakes float in the generous empty space, and short swoosh marks beneath the skates suggest ice. A hand-drawn wavy scalloped red border encloses the scene. Scratchy wax crayon and soft pastel on warm, grainy paper give it a flat, vintage children's-book feel.
