The image depicts two full-body profiles of a person sketched in a side view. One arm is extended outward and the other rests on the hip. The person has a neutral expression, with a notable nose and styled hair covered by a cloth cap. They wear loose, layered clothing consisting of a tunic, gathered pants, and simple shoes. The background includes cows grazing, sparse trees, and grass.
