The image shows the full bodies of two individuals - one large adult figure and a smaller child-like figure - both facing forward. The adult is standing with one leg stepping forward while extending one arm downwards towards the smaller figure. The adult has long, curly hair and a beard, wearing a detailed outfit featuring an ornate collar, patterned doublet, and puffed sleeves, along with pants that have intricate designs. There is a sword attached to the adult's waist, and he wears tall boots. The child, positioned to the left of the adult, has similar long, curly hair and wears a plumed hat and a matching outfit with a long coat, holding a walking stick. Above them is a draped curtain with a large coat of arms featuring various symbols and tassels. The background depicts an ornate architectural scene, suggesting a medieval or Renaissance setting, with a cityscape visible in the distance, showing buildings and people.
