The image depicts two figures in a dynamic pose; one seen from the back with a slightly bent leg, and the other in profile. The left figure's hair is tied back, while the right figure is draped in flowing fabric. No explicit facial features are visible for the left individual, while the right individual's facial features are subtly suggested. The figures are partially covered with diaphanous cloth. The background is plain with gradations of shading.
