Three sketches of women are shown, each standing in different positions. The first woman stands on the left with her hands on her hips. She wears a brimmed hat and a long dress. The second woman is in the center, leaning forward with her hands on a railing. She wears a long-sleeved dress and a hat with a broad rim. The third woman on the right is walking away with an object in her left hand. She has her hair styled up and is wearing a long dress. The background is a simple, plain surface, likely the deck of a ship.
