The image is a line drawing showing two figures. The figure on the left is a woman partially bending forward, with her upper body and half of her lower body visible. Her hair is styled back, and her facial features are delicately outlined as she gazes downward. The figure appears to be nude. On the right, there is a reclining male figure showing his upper body and head in profile. His hair and beard are full and curly, with distinct facial features. He looks toward the woman, leaning back against what appears to be a cushion or pillow. The background includes a potted plant to the left and simple lines representing the interior setting.
