The image shows two figures standing waist up. The central figure holds a gold-colored staff and a black book against their chest. They have light skin, delicate facial features, and a tonsured hairstyle. The figure is robed in a cream-colored garment. Near the bottom of the image, a second figure is shown with hands clasped together. This person has light skin, short, light brown hair, and wears a dark robe with a fur collar. In the background, there is a landscape with fields, small hills, and a distant structure resembling a church or cathedral, set against a light sky with cloud formations.
