The image displays two full-body illustrations of identical figures, portrayed from a rear view. Both figures are standing with their left arms bent and resting on their hips, while their right arms are extended, pointing to the right side of the image. The figures have curly hair visible from the back and wear hats with feathers. They are dressed in long jackets with detailed buttons running down the back, along with knee-high textured boots. Each figure appears to have a sword hanging by their side. The background is a plain, light-colored surface with no discernible features or objects.
