Two male figures are depicted standing with their backs to the viewer, each with one arm extended outward. They wear distinctive hats with plumes, knee-length coats, and leggings. One figure's tunic features vertical stripes. A small plant is near the foot of one figure. In the background, smaller figures in period attire are present, one holding a staff and two others with spears or weapons. The background is minimal, emphasizing the figures in the illustration.
