The image displays two individuals shown from the torso upwards. The person on the left is in a three-quarter pose, turned slightly towards the figure on the right, with their head turned to the side. This person has delicate facial features and their hair appears to be styled up. They are wearing a garment with puffed shoulders and a prominent black, circular feature at the neckline. The person on the right is standing facing forward but slightly turned towards the left figure. This figure also has delicate features, with their head slightly raised. They are dressed in a jacket with structured shoulders and a high collar. Both individuals appear to be interacting, with soft and loose lines suggesting movement. The background is lightly textured and splattered paper.
