The image shows two individuals within a rectangular frame. The figure on the left is depicted standing and holding a long staff with a banner. This person has long hair and a beard, with detailed facial features highlighted in black and surrounded by a yellow halo. They are wearing a draped garment with red and orange hues that falls down to the feet. To the right, the second person is depicted from the waist up in a kneeling position, slightly turned towards the standing figure. This individual also has long hair and a beard, with similar facial detailing and a yellow halo. They are dressed in a garment that mirrors the first in color and pattern. The background consists of stylized grass and foliage in shades of green, with swirling patterns and motifs adorning the banner held by the standing figure. The entire image carries a medieval or woodcut style with bold outlines and a limited color palette.
