two people standing side by side against a wall in a black and white photograph. On the left is a person wearing a patterned dress with mixed prints that appears to have a flowing, tiered design. On the right is a person in a light-coloured button-up shirt and dark trousers with a belt. There's interesting lighting in the scene, with what looks like dappled light or shadows falling on the wall to the right side of the frame.
