There are two people in the image. The woman is reclined and facing towards the man. She has dark hair styled in a bun under a hat with a plume, and wears a dress with large sleeves. The man is seated, wearing a coat and a top hat. The background is indistinct, with soft hues and shapes that suggest furniture or interior elements in warm, muted tones.
