They have a prominent chin, a long nose, and a stern expression with short curly hair. They are dressed in a military-style uniform with a pale blue peaked cap, a single-breasted coat, matching pants, and knee-high black boots with heels.

They wear a wide-shouldered top, a flared skirt, and high-heeled shoes. Both figures appear on a simple background with subtle lines indicating a horizon.

  • The image is divided into three sections. The two upper panels depict wide landscapes with distinct horizons towards the middle of each frame. In the upper left panel, a figure stands on a grassy expanse under a sky displaying pastel hues transitioning from creams to blues. The upper right panel features another figure on a similar landscape with abstract lines in the sky. In the largest section below, six people stand on a gently rolling landscape with a low horizon sloping into the distance. The brushstrokes are soft and fluid, especially in the sky, using a watercolor technique to blur clouds and land. The ground shows dark, washed-out spots for texture and depth, and the color palette includes soft greens, browns, and subdued blues.
