Black and white engraving depicting two men with halos. The man on the left has short curly hair and holds an open book. He wears long sleeves with billowy cuffs and has a quill tucked behind his ear. The man on the right has long wavy hair and holds a spear. He wears billowy robes. The two men are sitting on a ledge or windowsill, divided by a thin pillar. The background shows a Gothic-style window or archway. Below the men is a decorative border with calligraphic text. The image is detailed with many lines. The figures are looking at each other. The men appear to be saints based on their halos. The image resembles an old religious artwork.
