The image is a sketch showing the upper half of one person and the face and upper shoulders of another person. The person in the foreground appears to be leaning slightly forward with their head turned to the left, showing their profile. Their hair is styled up and adorned with decorations. They are wearing a top that reveals their shoulders and arms, with draped clothing. The person in the background is slightly obscured, with their facial features faintly visible, and wearing a wide-brimmed hat with feathers. The background is sparse, focusing on the figures themselves.
