The image shows two figures on the left side. The seated figure on the left is wearing a robe and appears to have long hair and a beard. There are radiant lines around the head. The person is holding a cup or small vessel. The figure standing next to them is pouring a liquid into the cup from a larger jug. The standing figure is dressed in period clothing with a cap and hose with puffed elements. Two more individuals are behind them, one in a softly draped dress with puffed sleeves, and the other partially obscured, possibly wearing a cap. In the background, there is a tree with foliage at the top left.
