The image shows two elderly individuals sitting side by side. Both figures are depicted from the waist up, with one person slightly turned towards the viewer and the other facing the left. The individual on the left has a calm expression with closed lips and deep-set eyes beneath thin eyebrows, along with shoulder-length hair. The person on the right has a more gaunt expression with short hair and deep lines on their face. Both individuals are wrapped in draped clothing and their hands are shown resting on their laps. The background is plain with no additional elements.
