This print shows two people standing close together, one slightly behind the other. The front person has one hand on a long sword hung on their hip, while their other holds the hand of the person behind them. They have a broad face, a bun or headpiece on top of their head, and a draped fabric cloth over a vest or breastplate with short trousers. The person behind them has short, curly hair, and wears what appears to be a draped gown with a low neckline. The two people stand on a surface covered with rocks or rubble, and the background behind them is blank.
