The image displays two individuals standing upright in full-length facing forward. The person on the left holds a book and keys, has curly hair, a beard, and wears flowing robes with a patterned trim. The person on the right has longer curly hair, a long beard, draped robes, and holds a staff. Both individuals have halos around their heads. The background has horizontal lines, creating a textured effect, and the setting is framed by an arch-like border.
