The image is an etching showing two people with only their upper bodies visible. Both individuals are depicted sitting or reclining closely together. The person on the left is wearing a hooded garment that covers their head, with their downturned face slightly visible. The person on the right has short hair and appears to be resting their head on the left person's shoulder. Below the individuals, there is a wicker basket sitting on the ground beside them. The background features textured lines suggesting vegetation or foliage, giving the impression of an outdoor setting. The entire composition is rendered in detailed crosshatching.
