This is a drawing of two anthropomorphic figures. One figure wears a voluminous costume and a headpiece decorated with flowers, while the other figure wears an ornate outfit with feather-like decorations. The second figure is holding a long, staff-like object. The drawing is detailed and executed in a monochromatic style with strong linework. The background is minimal, emphasizing the two figures and their attire.
