This vintage group portrait photograph features approximately 40 young women and two adult women in what appears to be a school or institutional setting. The print is delicately hand-coloured throughout, the girls' frocks and the teachers' saris picked out in soft pastel washes of yellow, green, rose and pale blue against the monochrome image.

It is housed in an ornate, carved wooden frame with a wavy border pattern, likely dating from the mid-20th century, possibly the 1940s. The backing appears to be original with some evidence of age-related wear. Mounted on studio card with a decorative ruled border and original grained wood frame.
