The image shows a partial view of a person and a smaller figure next to them. The main figure is seated at an angle, leaning slightly to the side. They have closed eyes, defined eyebrows, short brown hair, and wear a patterned garment with brown and beige geometric designs. The smaller figure, resembling a child, is close to the main figure and partly wrapped in the garment. The background features stylized water patterns with wavy blue lines and a fish depicted on the surface. No objects or jewelry are visible on the figures.
