The image is a charcoal drawing featuring two figures. One figure is seated on a wooden chair, seen from the side, with the upper body visible. The head is depicted without facial features, and the body outlines emphasize the shoulders and torso. The second figure, on the right, is portrayed in a bust-like portrait with detailed facial features and short hair. The facial features have highlights and shadows for depth, and an earring is included. The background is minimal, focusing on the figures, with charcoal texture adding depth. A red stamp is visible on the lower right side of the image.
