The image depicts two men holding a cloth between them. The man on the left has grey hair, a beard, and wears a red robe with a blue lining. The man on the right has brown hair, a beard, and wears a pink robe with a blue lining. The cloth they hold displays a face with long brown hair and a beard with drops on the forehead. In the background, there are two crossed keys behind a papal tiara. Archways frame the scene in the top corners.
