The image is a sketch showing two figures from the shoulders up to just below the waist. Both figures are positioned sitting and facing each other, with one figure embracing the other. The facial features of both individuals are not detailed. The figure on the right seems to have short hair with simple lines to suggest texture. In terms of clothing, the lines are minimally detailed, indicating a bare torso for the figure on the left and possible cloth or shadowing on the right. No specific jewelry or objects are depicted. The background is plain, leaving the emphasis on the two figures.
