The image shows a woman and a man from head to about mid-calf, exiting through a set of glass doors. The woman is on the left, wearing a wide-brimmed hat, glasses, a light-colored coat that reaches below her knees, and a dark dress underneath. She carries a dark handbag and appears to be clutching her coat. The man on the right wears glasses and is dressed in a formal suit with a tie, holding several pens in his pocket and a pin on his lapel. The background shows the doorway, with a blurred street scene visible through the glass door.
