A hand-tinted stereoview depicts two young women in a domestic interior: one standing figure in a white blouse with a red neckerchief playfully covers the eyes of a seated companion wearing a pink dress. The setting includes a draped patterned curtain, a table with porcelain figurines under a glass dome, and a bentwood chair, suggesting a bourgeois parlor. The applied color emphasizes the pink dress and red accents against a muted sepia tone throughout the remainder of the composition.
