The sketch shows a partial view of two human figures in an expressive pose. The figure on the left has their upper body and extended arms visible, with their head tilted backward and mouth open. The second figure is behind the first, with only the back and arm visible, leaning forward slightly. Both figures are unclothed, and the background consists of light sketch lines suggesting an undefined space.
