The image shows abstract figures in white hats and dresses against a green background. The figures are faceless and drawn in a minimalist style. They appear to be standing or walking, with dark shadows on a textured grey surface. The green background contrasts with the white figures and grey ground. The figures' movement and distinctive hats are emphasized by their simplistic forms. This painting may be inspired by Emilio Sánchez's style, known for his focus on architectural scenes and stylized figures.
