The image depicts two individuals, with a focus on their faces. The person on the right is drawn more prominently with detailed shading and a turned face, framed by long, dark hair. The facial features are defined with a strong gaze. The person on the left is depicted in a more abstract, sketchy style with less detail. The emphasis is on the faces with surrounding abstract brush strokes and shading. The background consists of smoky, grayish tones with abstract line work. A circular emblem is in the lower right corner.
