Needlepoint

The image shows two figures, a man and a woman. The man is slightly crouched, stepping forward with his head turned sharply to the left. He has dark hair and a dark beard, and he appears to be wearing a wide-brimmed hat, a blue outfit with intricate patterns, laced stockings, and boots. He holds a long firearm. The woman stands behind him, leaning slightly forward with one arm extended towards the man. She has dark hair styled upwards, mostly covered by a bright red headscarf, a dark green top, a white apron, and a patterned red skirt. She wears an earring, and her hand is raised as if making a gesture. The background shows a rocky terrain with patches of greenery and a smooth, light gray background.
