The image depicts two figures in a simple linear style. One figure is seated with bent knees and an extended arm. The other figure is seated behind and to the side of the first figure, facing slightly left. The figures have minimal facial features and wear hats and simple robes. The background is plain, and the sketch appears to be done in charcoal or a similar medium.
