The image shows two full-length figures standing side by side. The person on the left is in profile, while the person on the right faces forward, with their body leaning slightly toward the other individual. The left figure has blonde hair styled upwards, with distinctive large, almond-shaped eyes and prominent features. They are wearing a long, red-striped dress with puffed sleeves and a belt, paired with black shoes. The person on the right has brown hair and similar prominent facial features, including large eyes. They are dressed in a long blue robe or coat over pants of the same color, and also wear black shoes. Their left arm is extended, holding a pink and white circular object. Surrounding them are stylized plants with large leaves and pink flowers. The plants appear on both sides of the figures and create a rich and textured background composed of warm browns and reds.
