The image shows three human figures, two fully visible and one partially visible. The main male figure on the left is seated on a rock, facing the female figure. He has wavy medium-length hair and is nude with a piece of cloth over his left shoulder. The female figure beside him is also seated on a rock, holding a goblet. The third figure on the right, nude, holds a vessel in her right hand. A sword lies on the ground, and a jug is at their feet. The background shows a natural landscape with hills, a tree, a distant city, and architectural structures.
