The image shows two nude individuals. The first person is seated with their back facing the viewer, leaning slightly to one side with one arm behind them, and the other on their bent knee. Their head is turned to the left, with short, curly hair. The second person is lying down, reclining with their legs towards the seated person and their head resting on their bent arms. This person has long, wavy hair. Both figures are on a patterned textile that drapes over a piece of furniture. In the background, there are two parallel horizontal lines.
