The image depicts two individuals from the waist up. The first person, a young woman, is seated at a sewing machine with a focused expression. She has fair skin and light hair pulled back. She wears a light-colored short-sleeved shirt. A man stands next to her, observing closely. He has short hair and a mustache, wearing a dark suit with a tie and a pin or badge on his lapel. The room has a large window on the left, providing natural light. Outside, a building and a tree are visible. Various fabric pieces are spread on the table.
