The seated figure has short hair, is wearing a long, draped garment gathered at the waist with a wide, fluted band, and sits on a semicircular base. Their right elbow is bent at a 90-degree angle, with their hand near their mouth and their left arm around a second figure. The second figure has short hair, wings protruding from their back, and stands on the right side of the base. They have their left arm around the seated figure's waist and their right hand near the seated figure's right hand. The background of the image is gray.
