In the foreground two people walk into the wind. The figures hold their hoods in place with their right gloved hands. The figures hold each other’s hands and legs are positioned in such a way to suggest movement. The one on the left who is leading wears a qulittaq while the one on the right wears an amauti. Their parkas have fine detailing of lines suggesting hair. Behind the figures is igloo-like structure. There is one blue block in the igloo. The rest of the space is the empty white of the page.
