The image depicts an abstract portrait showing two faces. The figure on the left has a roughly applied texture of paint, capturing the prominent facial features with broad, expressive brushstrokes. This face has blurred edges that blend into the background. The overall appearance is dominated by earthy tones and deep shadows. To the right, there is a more faintly represented face with similarly rough and expressive strokes, featuring lighter brown and white streaks that indicate hair and a faint expression. Clothing is not distinctly depicted, and there is no jewelry or objects in hand visible. The background is a neutral textured canvas, and there is a signature by Mancini at the bottom right corner of the canvas.
