The image shows two people standing on a small balcony. Both individuals are facing each other with their hands resting on the railing. The person on the left has short hair styled back and a sharp facial outline. The person on the right has short hair and their head tilted slightly back. Both individuals are wearing dark outer garments that appear to be coats. A piece of fabric or scarf is caught in the wind between them. There are no visible jewelry or held objects. The background features a cityscape with buildings and rooftops under a lightly clouded sky.
