The image depicts two people from the chest up. The man is leaning his head against the woman, who is standing upright. The man has short, thinning hair and is wearing a jacket over a collared shirt. The woman has short, dark hair styled away from her face and large sunglasses. She wears a buttoned-up cardigan with a patterned trim, pearl earrings and a necklace. In the background, there is a wide, sandy beach with distinctive rock formations near the water, and houses and trees are visible in the distance under a cloudy sky.
