Dark, heavily textured lines and shading depict two standing nude figures who embrace inside the petals of an enormous flower. Seen in three quarter profile facing each other, a man, at left looks into the eyes of a woman. In his left hand he holds her wrist up by his shoulder, while his right is curled around her back. She looks back at him, tilting her head back slightly, her hair falling down past her shoulders. The petals of the flower surround them on either side and behind them and shading indicates large rocks below them.
