The image shows two individuals in a three-quarters view from the knees up. On the right, a man is pulling back a curtain while a woman stands behind him. He has a prominent nose and a determined expression, wearing a cap and simple clothing. The woman has a concerned expression, with her hands clasped in front of her. She has tightly pulled-back hair and wears a long dress with puffed sleeves. The setting is indoors, with light coming from what appears to be a window.
