The image depicts two individuals in an indoor setting. The first person is a woman seated in a chair, holding a cigarette. The second person is a man standing. The woman has dark, long hair and wears a gown. The man has a long face with a beard, and he is wearing a long-sleeved garment and coat. There are books on a desk nearby, and the background is a simple, unadorned wall.
