The image titled "Two Genii" by Hans Sebald Beham shows two naked, winged humanoid creatures. Both are depicted with curly hair and are positioned on their knees; the left one faces right and the right one faces left. Each creature has one arm extended outward and the other on a goat-like creature with horns. The goat-like creatures are positioned in the center facing each other. The scene is framed by ornate designs resembling scales and swirls. A small, rectangular inscription at the top reads "1544 H.S.B."
