The image shows two figures next to a well. One figure on the left has long hair and a beard, wearing a loose robe, standing with one foot visible, and one hand extended towards the well. The figure on the right is leaning over the well, with a hand on a bucket, wearing a detailed, long dress and a head covering with decorative ear-like ornaments. Both figures are barefoot. There is a jug near their feet. The background includes a rural landscape with trees, a distant town or settlement, and smaller figures engaged in various activities. The year "1523" is inscribed at the top and there are initials near the jug at the bottom.
