Two nude full-body figures, a male and a female, are depicted in an embrace. The male figure has his back turned toward the viewer with his arm around the female figure. The female figure is facing the viewer in profile with long, curly hair cascading down her shoulders. Both figures are unclothed, and the female figure's hands are clasped at her chest. They stand next to a large tree with a serpent coiled around its trunk, extending its head toward the female figure. In the background are dark, cross-hatched lines indicating depth and texture, with hints of foliage and another tree visible. The image is rendered in a monochromatic palette in a vintage style.
