The image depicts three figures, showing their bodies from head to mid-thigh. The central figure stands in a river with arms crossed over the chest. They have a gentle facial expression with long hair and a beard, while a cloth is draped loosely around the waist. To the left, a figure is kneeling in the river, wearing a brown garment with horizontal stripes and a rope tied around the waist, and pouring water over the central figure's head. This person has a full beard and curly hair. The third figure, on the right, stands with one hand resting on the shoulder of the central figure, clothed in a red robe with long blond hair and a small crown on the head. In the background, billowing blue clouds fill the sky above a green landscape, enhancing the serene setting.
