The image shows a sketch of two individuals. One person in the foreground has a profile view with distinct facial features, including a straight nose, closed lips, and closed eyes. Their hair is styled in finger waves. The second person in the background is depicted standing with flowing lines, a forward-facing visage, and a headdress covering their hair. They wear draped robes, and one hand is visible near the chest. The background features abstract lined patterns, suggesting an enclosed setting.
