The image is a woodcut of two individuals depicted from head to toe. The person on the left is standing in a slight profile position, turned towards the right, with curly hair and wings. The individual on the right is facing slightly towards the left, wearing a hat with a halo emitting vertical lines, long hair, and a full beard. Both figures wear detailed, flowing clothing, with the person on the right holding a long staff. Additional objects include what appears to be a book or scroll held by the bearded figure. The background features an ornate frame with elaborate vine and leaf designs.
