This figure has delicate facial features and long hair covered by a shawl. They wear flowing garments. The second person on the right is seated, leaning with their elbow on their knee, holding their head in their hand. The background depicts a natural setting with textured trees, bushes, and hills or mountains. The scene is rendered with fine, detailed lines.
