The image depicts two people in a simple sketch. One person is reclining, with their right arm bent on their hip, head turned slightly to the left, shoulder-length hair framing their face, closed eyes, and indistinct features. The second person is partially visible behind them, with their body mostly obscured, and only part of their arm extending across the foreground, resting on the first person's shoulder. Both figures are unclothed, drawn with fluid lines. A chair is faintly outlined in the background to the right. The sketch focuses on contour and form, lacking detailed features and shading.
