The image shows two figures from the waist up. The person on the left is positioned facing slightly towards the right, with their head tilted. This person has curly hair styled into an updo with ringlets hanging down and appears to be wearing an earring. They have a rounded face with a gentle expression and are wearing clothing with a ruffled collar. The second person, to the right, is seen in profile, wearing glasses. They are holding a quill or similar writing tool, pointing toward an open book with visible writing. The background is plain, focusing attention on the two figures.
