This is a drawing displaying two figures near a well. One figure is leaning on the edge of the well while the other is standing beside them in a thoughtful pose. The lines are clean and precise, detailing the clothing and hair. On the left are abstract lines hinting at foliage, adding a natural element to the scene. The simplicity of the lines highlights the interaction between the two figures in the tranquil setting.
