The image shows a drawing of three figures. Two figures have their heads visible, slightly below and to either side of the central figure. The central figure's profile of the head and upper body is visible, with the face turned to the side. The figures seem to be wearing loose flowing garments depicted through shading and line work. There are no accessories or objects in the image. The background is plain and blends with the gray tones of the drawing, creating a dreamlike effect.
