The image depicts two figures from the waist up. The figure on the left is seated with legs crossed and hands resting on the knee, facing the left side. This figure has stylized facial features, with prominent eyes, and is adorned with a headpiece decorated with flowers or leaves and a bird motif, as well as wearing a simple necklace. The person has long hair tied back and is unclothed, exhibiting a serene posture. The second figure, standing on the right, is facing forward and draped in cloth that wraps around the head like a shawl, exposing one shoulder. This figure also has elongated facial features with defined eyes and small lips. Their feet are visible at the bottom. In the background, the drawing is simple, providing an unobtrusive view with minimal lines.
