The image shows a half-length depiction of two figures. The figure on the left is positioned slightly in profile, facing the right, with their head turned toward the other person. This figure has long, wavy hair partially covered by a veil, featuring delicate facial features with eyes downcast. The figure on the right is facing forward, looking directly ahead with an expressionless face. This figure has curly hair adorned with a large, rounded headdress or possibly a headband. Both individuals are dressed in draped, flowing garments with long sleeves that have slightly gathered cuffs. In their hands, they hold a platter, which supports a lifelike head with cascading hair and closed eyes. The background is plain and unembellished, accentuating the detailed linework of the figures and the object they carry.
