The image shows two full-body drawings of the same person in different poses. On the left, the person stands in a relaxed manner, turned slightly to the side, with one arm bent and the other resting on the hilt of a sword. On the right, the person has a more pronounced lean back, both hands resting on the hilt of the sword. The person has angular facial features, curly hair peeking out from underneath a wide-brimmed hat with a tall feather, and is dressed in historically detailed clothing including a long cloak, voluminous breeches, and decorated shoes. They have a sword with a distinctive hilt around their waist. The background is plain, emphasizing the figures.
