The image depicts Perseus and Minerva before a temple. A temple with a triangular pediment and a large central archway dominates the background. The pediment features sculpted figures and is flanked by sloping sections with figures on top. The archway is adorned with columns and sculptures. Two urns sit atop pedestals on either side of the stairs leading to the archway. Perseus, wearing a helmet and holding a sword, stands on the left side of the image. Minerva, wearing a helmet and carrying a shield, stands to his right. The scene is rendered in sepia tones, with detailed linework and shading. The figures are dressed in classical attire. The sky above the temple features clouds.
