The image portrays two figures and a cat in a stylized manner. The first figure is depicted from the waist up, leaning forward with one arm extended to the right and the head tilted sideways. The second figure is lying down with long hair, resting on a rectangular object, possibly a pillow. The cat is positioned between the figures with its back arched. The background is plain with few details, emphasizing the simple, linear style of the artwork.
