The image contains two head-and-shoulders portraits in oval frames. The left portrait shows a man in profile view facing right, with distinct facial features and curly hair under a hat. The right portrait displays a woman in three-quarter profile facing right, with defined facial features and a hood covering most of her head. Both figures are depicted in a linear, engraved style against a background of closely spaced horizontal lines. The image is monochromatic, in shades of black and white, with no other elements present.
