The image shows two people captured from the waist up. The man on the right is standing with his eyes closed, leaning slightly forward with one arm extended outwards and the other arm raised. He has short-cropped hair and a neatly trimmed mustache. He is wearing a double-breasted suit with a white shirt underneath. The woman on the left is also captured with her eyes closed, standing with both arms slightly raised. She is wearing a textured coat over a light-colored blouse and a matching hat. Her hair is peeking out from under the hat. Around her wrist, she appears to be wearing a bracelet. The setting appears to be inside a room with checkered flooring, possibly part of a building with plain walls. There are bench-like pews next to them.
