The image features the full body of a couple embracing in the center right of the frame, with another person partially visible on the left. The couple is standing upright, close together in an intimate manner. The man has a chiseled face and a stern expression, while the woman has large eyes and appears to be looking toward the viewer. Both figures are dressed warmly; the man is wearing a coat and hat, and the woman is also wearing a hat and a coat with a fur collar. The background shows vertical lines, possibly wooden fencing or slats, with a structure resembling part of a building or scaffolding with barbed wire. The person on the left wears a peaked cap and is holding up a flashlight or camera, silhouetted in darkness.
