The image shows two figures from the waist up. The figure on the left stands upright with one arm raised, while the figure on the right leans slightly to the left. The facial features are softly sketched, with the left person in profile, showing a prominent nose and high hairstyle. The right person's hair is adorned with what appears to be feathers or a headdress. Both figures wear ornate clothing; the right figure's garment has noticeable patterns or embellishments on the shoulders. The left person's attire is less detailed, with what looks like ruffled or layered fabric. They hold a round, reflective object. The background consists of vertical lines and shading.
