The image depicts two figures, one in partial view and the other in full side view. The larger figure is facing slightly to the side with their body angled to the left. The second figure stands to the right, reaching their hands upwards. The larger figure has distinct facial features, a headdress, long hair, and is holding a scroll and a rectangular object. The smaller figure has a slender profile, elongated neck, and is nude, appearing to offer something to the larger figure. The background shows a textured terrain with smoke, a distant figure, and a crow in flight near the top right.
