The image is a sketch showing two figures depicted with cross-hatched lines. The figures are lying down, with one on their side and the other reclining against them. Facial features are suggested with simple lines, and both figures have curly hair. There are no specific clothing details or visible accessories. The background is plain and the paper shows signs of aging with slight discolorations and wear.
