The image shows two people in a reclining position on the ground. The person in the foreground is lying flat on their back with slightly bent legs. The person behind them is sitting and leaning over, with a slightly hunched body. Their facial features are unclear, and their hair is long and wavy. Both figures are dressed in loose garments resembling robes. The background hints at an outdoor setting with foliage, a tree-like form, and a horse standing nearby. There are lines and shading suggesting a natural landscape with shrubs or vegetation in the distance.
