The woman is sitting on a blue couch, wearing a dark dress with a red blazer and pearl necklace, with a calm expression. The man, wearing a light grey blazer and pink shirt, is sitting on a black chair, gesturing with his hands. Behind them, there are white curtains and a large green potted plant. Two glasses of water are placed on a table between them.
