The image shows two individuals positioned with one facing left and the other walking behind, both with dynamic postures as if encountering strong wind. The person in front has facial features obscured by a bonnet and wears a long dress. The other person wears a cap and a shorter dress. The person in front holds an umbrella turned inside out by the wind. The background displays a muddy path with puddles, sparse vegetation, buildings, and a cloudy sky with rain.
