The image shows horizontal strips that form an abstract representation. The strips reveal partial views of two figures standing side by side. The figure on the left is dressed in a suit and tie with a top hat. The figure on the right is wearing a dress with vibrant patterns and a wide-brimmed hat adorned with feathers. The abstract arrangement of the strips creates a segmented or layered look for the figures.
