The image shows two individuals, a woman and a man, seated on the ground. The woman is on the left facing the man on the right. The woman has a braided hairstyle with a headpiece and is wearing a long dress with puffed sleeves. The man has a beard and is wearing a loose, long-sleeved garment. The background includes a castle on a hill to the left, a lake with a sailboat in the middle ground, and a horse tied to a tree on the right. The image is executed in a finely detailed drawing style.
