The image shows two seated figures depicted from the waist up. The person on the left is displayed in profile, facing away from the viewer further into the background, with their head slightly bent forward. The figure on the right is seated facing more towards the viewer, with their left arm resting on a surface. This person has short, textured hair and indistinct facial features due to the drawing style, which uses dense cross-hatching to create shadows and depth. Both figures appear to be unclothed, and their sketch-like rendering conveys more of an impression rather than detailed realism. The background is composed of a textured surface with vertical and horizontal cross-hatchings, featuring a darker section behind the figures that enhances their visibility by contrast. No jewelry or objects are apparent in the image.
