The image depicts two women in a stylized and illustrative manner. Both are shown from the waist up. The woman on the left is holding a platter with a bearded man's severed head. She has closed eyes and a contemplative expression, with her hair partially covered by a cloth. The woman on the right stands facing forward, with wavy hair and a decorative cap. She wears a loose, flowing garment with puffy sleeves. An ornate border surrounds them, featuring a banner in the top left corner and a faded coat of arms in the top right. The background is a plain, muted yellow.
