The image shows two figures captured from the upper body. One figure on the left is in profile, facing towards the figure on the right. This figure has long hair and a beard, while the figure on the right appears to be looking at the first figure. She has long hair and seems to be holding a veil or shawl over her head and shoulders. Both figures are dressed in flowing garments, with the details of the clothing unclear due to the artistic style. The background consists of fine, horizontal lines, and there are no visible jewelry or objects. The art style and stippling give the image an etched appearance. Below the figures, there is cursive writing indicating attribution as "Drawn and engraved by W.B."
