The image shows two figures depicted from the waist up, seated beside each other. The figure on the left has a head of curly hair and a beard, and is wearing a crown of thorns. His hands are crossed over his chest. He is draped in a robe that reveals part of his chest. The other figure, to the right, has smoother and longer hair covered by a hood, with her hands also crossed. She wears a headscarf and robe with voluminous folds. Both have halos drawn as radiant lines around their heads. Around them, the setting is outdoors, with rocky formations and a path behind them leading to a hill with trees on the sides. In the distance, there are three crosses on the top of a hill along with several figures. Further in the background, a structure resembling city walls is visible among trees and rolling hills.
