The image depicts three stylized, black and white figures from the waist up standing together. The central figure is flanked by two others, who appear to be supporting them by wrapping their arms around. All three individuals have simplified facial features with similar expressions, and the central figure has their hair pulled back. The figure on the left wears a large-brimmed hat and a short-sleeved top, while the figure on the right has short hair and a short-sleeved top. The central figure wears a dress-like garment. The background features a pattern of radiating lines and abstract leaf-like shapes at the bottom.

Two characters are depicted in a stylized, abstract manner, possibly through a linocut or woodcut print. One figure, on the left, has their arms raised above their head and face turned toward the second person. This figure has short, sleek hair and wears a short-sleeved shirt with vertical stripes on the bottom of their pants. The second figure, on the right, faces the first and appears to be gesturing with their hands. They wear a hat and an outfit with a patterned or textured design and have short, cropped hair. There is no jewelry visible on either person, and no objects are held. The background features swirling decorative elements and lines that give a dynamic feel. The scene is enclosed within a plain white border.
