The image depicts two figures embracing on a draped surface. Both individuals have curly hair, are facing the left, and are dressed in flowing garments. They appear to be in an intimate embrace, with one figure looking up and the other gazing at them. The background features drapery and vague shapes in shades of gray and blue.
