The image depicts four figures in full-body view, arranged in a line. The first figure on the left has long, wavy hair and a thin frame with a cloth around their waist, one hand raised. The second figure is older with short, curled hair and a beard, wearing a long robe, holding a large key and a book. The third figure has long, wavy hair, dressed in a red and teal garment, holding a cylindrical object, and also has a halo. The fourth figure is on a cross, with curly hair and a cloth around the waist, arms stretched outward. The background is a simple, lightly colored area with a blue curved line.
