The image shows a sketch with two figures, one on the right and one on the left. On the right, part of one figure's upper torso and arm is visible, with the arm reaching upwards. The figure appears to be facing slightly to the left, with hair sketched in short strokes. The facial features are only outlined. On the left, another figure's head and shoulders are depicted, with faint facial features and lines suggesting a reclining position. The figures lack detailed clothing or accessories. The backdrop is sparse, with speckles and smudged areas creating a textured effect across the top of the image. Below the figures, handwritten French text is present in the lower portion of the image.
