Two figures appear in a reclining position. The primary figure is partially visible, with the upper half of the body shown. They are lying down or reclining on a horizontal surface, draped in a garment that covers their torso. The figure has basic facial features and short hair, with an outstretched arm pointing upwards. The secondary figure is lightly sketched and positioned behind the first, with an arm reaching over. The background is plain, with minimal detail, and there are notations in the top left corner.
