The image shows two people and a small dog. One person is seated with turned shoulders, looking up at the standing person. The seated person wears a head covering and a detailed dress. A dog stands on its hind legs near the seated person. The standing figure wears elaborate armor and holds a lance or polearm. In the background, there are barren trees, a large tree trunk with a hanging branch, and a distant landscape with rolling hills and structures resembling a small town. Gloves and a hat are on the ground.
