The image shows two full-length figures in a line-drawing style. Both figures stand in a similar pose, with one hand on their hip and the other arm across their body. They have stylized facial features with elongated noses and small lips. Each figure wears a large hat with feathers and bows, and their hair flows under the hat. They wear voluminous draped garments with layers and folds for texture and movement. Both figures have a sheathed sword at their sides. They are framed with minimal background detail, emphasizing their attire and stature.
