The figures, both male and female, are shown in various poses, some in motion and others at rest. In the background, there are classical architectural elements and a boat on water. The artwork has a rough, sketch-like quality, and the paper has a torn edge on the bottom, suggesting it may be part of a larger series or a work in progress.
