The image shows two full-length figures, a man and a woman engaged in conversation. The man stands upright holding a staff or hammer, wearing a cloth around his waist with wild unkempt hair. The woman faces him, gesturing with her left hand, neatly styled hair, and wearing a flowing gown with gathered waist and long sleeves. An anvil and tools are scattered on the ground, implying a workshop or forge setting. The background has a textured, vertical hatching pattern.
