The image depicts two figures in a room. On the left is a woman seated and leaning slightly forward with her head turned to the right. She has curly hair with a headband or crown and wears a bracelet on her right wrist. The figure on the right is a male standing, with his left arm outstretched. His hair is short and wavy, and he appears muscular. The background shows draped fabric, a bed or bench with ornate details and tassels, as well as architectural elements like pillars and a border inscribed with Latin text.
