This image shows a sketch of two figures drawn in black lines on a light background. Both figures are depicted entirely, with one in a reclined position and the other seated upright. The figures lack detailed facial features or hair, shown with simple outlines. The minimalist style emphasizes the forms of the bodies without elaborate clothing or background elements. A red stamp marked "ARCHIVIO MATRIZZA RD" is in the lower right corner of the image, adding a pop of color. The background is plain, focusing on the figures.
