This painting portrays the image of two people "face to face" look each other affectionately, Meretites put up the right shoulder of Kahai.

Researchers at Macquarie UNIVERSITY Lashien Miral said: "expressing such sentiments is considered somewhat strange, however, it shows a special closeness of the ancients". Not only that, many scholars believe that "this image is also a gender equality, women are engraved, drawing with dimensions equal to the husband, or their brothers".

In the context of a painting, Kahai carries wigs, wear the same shirt strips squeezed shoulder-side he holds a scepter, showing the power and responsibilities of the position. Meretites also carries the same long wig and wide collar necklace, a body hugging long fabric strips with squeezed shoulders, revealing a side of the chest. They look at each other lovingly.
