A high-angle view looks down into a dim living room at night, the camera placed above and slightly off the sofa's left armrest, so the pair sit below the lens and a large pool of their own combined shadow falls on the cushions behind them. Marianne sits at the left end of a deep, sagging two-seater sofa, her short blue hair loose from its braid except for the crown braid circling the back of her head, brown eyes lifted toward Hilda; she has drawn her knees up and tucked her bare feet under the hem of a long, plain cream nightgown with narrow self-fabric ties at the collar, the fabric pooling and creasing where her hip presses the cushion down. Hilda sprawls at the right, one leg folded under her and the other heel hooked up on the sofa's armrest, leaning her weight back on one straight arm planted behind her on the seat cushion, the elbow locked; her long pink hair spills in two loose twintails over the back of the couch, one tail crushed between her back and the cushion, and she wears a rose-and-cream striped pajama set, the shirt buttoned to mid-chest with the sleeves rolled to the elbow, trousers cuffed at the ankle, her bare toes curling over the armrest's edge. Between them their hands meet and rest on the middle cushion, Marianne's fingers curled loosely around Hilda's, and Marianne's chin is dipped toward that joined contact while her eyes come up sideways to Hilda's face; Hilda has turned her head down and toward her, chin tucked, pink eyes landing on Marianne, one corner of her mouth lifted in a faint closed-lip smile, and the weight of her gaze makes Marianne's shoulders round slightly forward.
A single floor lamp behind the sofa's right shoulder is the only light source: its warm amber glow rims the top of Hilda's pink hair and the outer curve of her planted arm, rakes across the striped fabric and the cream nightgown so the folds throw long soft shadows, and leaves the room beyond — a dark wall, the suggestion of a curtain edge — in near-black. Where Hilda's toes hang over the armrest, one small shadow of each toe is cast onto the sofa's fabric, since the lamp sits above and behind them. The palette holds to warm amber light, deep shadow brown, cream, rose stripe, and the two hair colours, blue and pink, as the only cool note. A faint hollow in the seat cushion under Marianne's drawn-up hip shows her weight settled into the springs. Quiet tenderness.
