He wears a high-crowned hat with a feather and intricate patterns, along with a tunic. The second figure, likely female, is kneeling or leaning towards the standing person. She wears a cloak and veil, with a halo around her head. The background features cloudy skies and a walled structure. The scene is depicted in monochrome with detailed shading and lines.
