The image shows two stylized individuals standing facing each other. The person on the left has a round face, glasses, short hair, and a peaked cap with a tassel. They are wearing a robe-like garment, knee-length skirt, and boots, holding a book titled “Notes”. The person on the right has a long face, angular features, a peaked cap with a feather, a robe, boots, and a book with a clasp. Both individuals stand on plain ground in the image. The background consists of faint lines at the edges of the page, emphasizing the figures.
