The image shows two people. One person is visible from head to toe while the other is seen from behind, from head to knee. The person facing forward is walking out of a door, looking straight ahead. They have shoulder-length hair and wear a hat with a patterned band, a light-colored, shearling-lined jacket over a printed shirt, light-colored, patterned pants, and dark shoes. The other person, seen from behind, is wearing a patterned scarf on their head and a long coat with decorative embroidery and fur trim. The surroundings include a metal door frame and a shop or building entrance, as they are walking through an open doorway.
