The image depicts two people shown from the waist up, positioned side by side facing each other. The person on the left stands upright with their body angled towards the right side, supporting themselves with their hands on a surface in front of them. This individual has wavy hair that falls to their neck, styled in curls, and wears a draped garment with a light-toned short-sleeved top underneath. The face shows wide-open eyes and a long nose. The person on the right is leaning forward, face to face with the other person, holding a similar posture with hands on a surface. Their facial profile is visible, and they have short hair styled in waves under a loose head covering that extends down the back. They are dressed in a flowing garment. The background is lightly shaded to create contrast with the figures. The sketch has text at the top reading "Croquis d'expressions No 44" and additional smaller text below the figures.
