The image shows two full-length figures in a detailed drawing. On the left is a figure with elaborate, styled hair adorned with decorations, wearing a mask that covers part of the face. This figure wears a richly patterned dress with puffed sleeves and a large, ornate collar, holding onto the garment with one hand. On the right, another figure is also masked, holding a staff topped with a decorative plume that emits smoke. This figure is dressed in a ruffled collar, a voluminous, intricately designed top, and loose pants with a striped pattern, complementing the attire with pointed shoes. The background of the image is plain.
