The artwork shows two individuals lying on a concrete surface outside a building. The person on the left is reclining with their legs bent, wearing a light blue shirt, dark jeans, and brown shoes. They have short dark hair and their eyes are closed. There is a book next to them. The person on the right is lying with their legs straight, wearing a white long-sleeve shirt, blue jeans, and black flat shoes with white socks. They have light hair and their arms are behind their head, also with closed eyes. A backpack is beside them. The background features large glass windows and a beige wall, with some grass visible at the bottom left corner.
