The man has short, dark hair and a beard, while the woman has curly hair falling around her face. The man is dressed in a jacket, shirt, patterned trousers, and slip-on shoes. The woman wears a dress with voluminous sleeves. They are seated on a cushioned couch with a simple patterned fabric. The background is minimal, with a fabric curtain partially drawn on the left side.
