The man has a thin face with pronounced cheekbones and large, round glasses; his hair is short, neatly combed, and appears to be thinning. He is wearing a button-up shirt and a vest. The woman has a fuller face, round glasses, and styled short hair displaying a natural wave. She is wearing a polka dot dress with multiple front buttons. Both are seated in high-backed wooden chairs with a floral patterned wallpaper in the background.
