The image depicts two figures shown from head to toe, each in a separate scene on a split canvas. On the left side, a person is positioned slightly turned with one hand raised and the other holding a stick or cane. Their face is shadowed, and they have short, dark hair. They are draped in a long cloak or coat, with an archway and a statue partially visible behind them. On the right side, another individual stands full-length in the light of an open doorway, facing forward. This character also has short hair and is wearing a similar cloak or long coat, and they appear to be holding a walking stick or similar object. The background includes suggestions of architecture and trees, all rendered in a monochromatic wash.
