The image shows two people from the waist up. The person on the left is a woman turned towards a man. She has loose waves in her hair, distinct eyebrows, and pronounced facial features. She wears a patterned dress with a belt and holds something close to her face. She also wears a bracelet. The person on the right is a man wearing a white shirt under a dark vest with a pen in its pocket, and a checkered flat cap. He holds a cigarette near his waist. The background shows a small shop or market stall with various items on shelves and a partially visible sign above them. The lighting suggests the scene is outdoors with sunlight casting shadows.
