The image displays two figures seen from behind. The person on the left stands upright with long straight hair, wearing a long dress that flows down to their ankles. The figure on the right is slightly inclined forward with shorter hair, donning a long coat. They are standing on a textured ground. The background shows a swirling abstract design moving from dark at the bottom to lighter mottled areas above, painted primarily in green and black hues.
