The image displays two figures shown from the waist up. Both figures are seated, facing each other in an intimate position, with one figure's arms wrapped around the other. The figure on the left has long hair that falls around their shoulders and appears to have their face covered by their hands, while the figure on the right has short hair and is pressing their face close to the other, with an arm around them. The figures are unclothed, and there are no visible accessories or objects in their hands. The background has a textured finish, with a light, rough pattern that fills it.
