The image shows a sketch of two entwined figures. Both figures are fully depicted with their entire bodies visible. They are engaged in a dynamic, intertwined pose. One person's body is leaning back over the shoulder of the other, their head thrown back and hair cascading downwards. The facial features are indicated with simple lines and are not detailed. The hair on both figures is shown with quick, flowing strokes. The figures are nude, and there is an absence of detailed clothing or additional objects within the sketch. The background is a plain, unadorned surface without any additional context or scenery. In the bottom right corner, there is a red stamp-like mark indicating "ARCHIVUM DR MATERNUS." The sketch is done using loose, confident lines that suggest movement and form.
