The image depicts a woman standing to the right and a man bending forward to the left. The woman has one hand raised to her chin and the other holding a draped piece of fabric. She has styled hair adorned with flowers and delicate facial features. She wears an ornate dress with ruffles and lace. The man is dressed casually and wears a cap with a bow. He seems to be handling a striped fabric. In the background, there is a decorative folding screen with elaborate designs and another character partially hidden behind a curtain. A small dog rests on an ornate chair to the left. The setting shows an opulently furnished interior with patterned wallpaper and elegant drapery, along with a wall sconce with two candles.
