This is a drawing of a scene with two figures and expressive elements. There are two outlined figures, one standing on the left in profile and another seated on the right, with a large mask or face between them. The seated figure leans on their elbow with their legs crossed. The standing figure has detailed hair with flowers or laurel. There is a vase with elongated flowers on a square surface between the figures. The background features minimalistic lines hinting at a distant landscape or curtains. The drawing uses simple lines to convey the subjects with minimal shading or heavy detailing.
