The image shows two figures from head to toe. The figure on the left is standing upright, facing slightly towards the other figure, and gesturing with one hand. They have a halo, long dark hair, a beard, and wear a long red robe. The figure on the right is kneeling, looking up at the standing figure with hands clasped together. They also have a halo, light-colored wavy hair, and wear a long robe. In the background, there is a simplistic tree with a green top, a fence-like pattern, and a grassy green ground. A small brown object is near the kneeling figure's feet.
