Two figures in profile are depicted from the waist up. The figure on the left is slightly behind, holding a lit candle. The person has distinct facial features and wears a head covering with visible patterns suggesting a textured fabric. The figure on the right appears slightly bowed and is also wearing a hooded garment that drapes over their head and shoulders, enveloping them in shadowed folds. The setting is dimly lit, possibly suggesting an enclosed space, with a background marked by cross-hatched lines creating a textured appearance. The interplay of light from the candle casts stark shadows, creating a dramatic scene.
