The image features two figures from the waist up. The person on the left is slightly turned upwards, partially looking sideways. They wear a shawl or veil and a dress with a circular pattern around their waist. The figure on the right is seated or crouched, looking up at the other person. They have a dark robe and their hands rest on the other person's arm. The background has light and dark areas, hinting at an indoor setting, with a shadowed section on the right side.
