The image shows a sketch of two human figures. Both figures are shown from head to toe. The first figure on the left faces slightly to the right with arms raised and head tilted upward. The second figure on the right faces left with one arm raised. Facial features are minimally depicted, and the hair is roughly indicated with simple lines. Both figures appear nude. The background is plain with no discernible details or scenery.
