The image depicts two people standing on a rocky beach overlooking the ocean. The man is on the left, facing the ocean with his back slightly turned. He has exaggerated facial features and dark, wavy hair. He is wearing a long-sleeve shirt, striped pants, and a scarf. Beside him, the woman faces the ocean with a partially turned profile view and her head covered. She wears a dark top and patterned skirt, holding onto the man's arm. In the background, the calm sea extends to the horizon with a floating black hat. The sky has a few clouds.
