The image shows two individuals standing side by side. The person on the left is leaning against a surface with crossed legs, while the person on the right is facing them with their body slightly turned sideways. The person on the left wears a wide-brimmed hat, a dark jacket, and trousers. The person on the right has light curly hair and wears a light coat with a fitted waist. Near their feet is a small object. The background features shaded areas hinting at an architectural setting, possibly an interior space with walls and a floor with strong lines.
