Two figures are depicted near an ornate gate. One figure is bent over, peering through the gate, and the other figure stands next to them. The man has short hair and facial hair, and the woman has her hair styled upwards. She is dressed in a long, fitted dress with buttons and ruffles. The man and woman are surrounded by foliage, and there is a single shoe on the ground. The gate is intricately decorated, and there is a partially visible building in the background.
