A vertically oriented gum tempera and graphite painting depicts two figures with medium-light skin tones. Jana stands on our right with long black hair, wearing a red sari over a white skirt and holding a red object. Pravira kneels on our left in a green jacket and red turban, touching Jana's feet while carrying a faint graphite bow and arrows. Silver-colored tin accents their jewelry, and Bengali script is written at the bottom.
