The image shows two individuals. One is seated, leaning against a sketched tree trunk with foliage behind them. They have long hair tied back, are wearing a long dress, and appear to be holding an object. The other person stands next to them, looking down with slightly bent posture. They have curly hair, wear loose-fitting clothing with a sash at the waist, and carry a large basket. The background shows light illustrations of natural scenery.
