This is an image of two armored figures engaged in combat with pole weapons. The figures are depicted on a plain background. The figure on the left wears a pointed helmet and a quilted tunic, holding a long pole weapon horizontally. The figure on the right is adorned in elaborate armor with a plume, also wielding a pole weapon. The drawing uses earthy browns and muted blues, resembling vintage armor illustration.
