The image displays two full-length figures standing in a forest setting. The person on the left is seen from behind, with their body slightly turned to the left. They have curly hair and are holding a cloth draped over their left arm. The figure is wearing sandals that wrap around their ankles and lower legs. The person on the right faces forward, holding a burning brazier in their right hand. They have a soft, rounded face with faint eyebrows and long hair pulled back. The person stands with their left foot on a spherical object marked with "AE" and drapes some fabric over their shoulder and arm. The background shows a dense forest with tall, leafy trees and intricate underbrush.
