The image shows two people facing each other. One person has long hair tied back and is dressed in a long gown, while the other has short hair and is also wearing a long gown. The background features vague furniture elements, giving a soft, textured appearance. There are no visible jewelry or objects. The tones are muted, with shading in dark tones on a lighter background. The artwork appears to be a charcoal or pencil drawing on paper, signed in the bottom left corner with a date.
