The figures are stylized, with flowing forms that emphasize movement and energy. The painting is executed in oil on canvas, a medium that allows for rich color and texture. The dimensions are approximately 100 x 150 cm, making it a sizable work that draws the viewer's attention. The use of light and shadow enhances the three-dimensionality of the figures and the surrounding environment.
