The image shows two paintings on aged paper; the paintings are divided into two panels. The left panel depicts a figure with two distinct halves, one blue and one red. The blue half has dark hair pulled back into a braid and wears a blue top, while the red half has long red hair and a yellow dhoti. The figure sits on a green and yellow platform, holding a red object in their right hand and raising their left hand. A peacock feather adorns their head. The right panel shows a man with a shaved head, wearing a white dhoti and an orange shawl; he stands with his arms crossed. Below him is a tan deer, and behind him is a blue bird with a red beak. The background of both panels features faint pencil drawings and a light brown color.
