They have dark, curly hair and are wearing a long, hooded garment with a shoulder covering, fastened at the neck, and a rope tied around the waist. They are holding a flagpole with multiple flags or banners attached. The background shows a stone facade with arched windows and a cloudy sky, suggesting an elevated location.
