A horizontally oriented black-and-white platinum print depicts two partial nude figures overlapping against a dark background. From the left, the light-skinned chest and torso of a person curve toward the center, revealing a breast. On the right, the vertical, muscular form of a person with medium-dark skin tone fills the frame. The composition emphasizes contrasting skin textures. A handwritten signature is located in the lower right white margin.
