The image shows two full-body figures positioned at the edge of the water, facing each other. The person on the left is standing with one foot in the water and their body slightly turned towards the other figure. They have a thin face with a pronounced nose and are wearing a checkered swimsuit and a bathing cap. The person on the right is partially submerged, standing in the water up to their knees, with a slightly hunched posture. They have a worried facial expression, short hair, and are also wearing a bathing cap and a plaid swimsuit. Neither of the figures is holding any objects. The background features a simple water scene with soft waves, and the horizon is visible in the distance with faint birds drawn in the sky. The illustration has an overall sketch-like quality.
