The image depicts two figures. The figure on the left is seated, resting his head on his hand, gazing to his left. He has curly hair and a short beard, wearing draped robes. The figure seems to be leaning against a structure beside a crack in a wall. The figure on the right stands, faces the seated figure, has medium-length curly hair and a full beard. He holds a book close to his chest with both hands and wears a long robe with a draped cloak over his shoulder. In the background, there is a landscape with trees, buildings, and a dynamic sky.
