The image displays two figures standing side by side with their backs to the viewer. Both are extending their right arms outward. They have curly hair and wear hats with feathers. Their knee-length garments have striped patterns, puffed sleeves, and tight leggings. One figure has one shoe, while the other wears soft-heeled shoes. There is no visible jewelry, and neither figure is holding any objects. In the background, there are more similarly dressed figures walking away with long poles. The setting is outdoors with distant landscape elements like a small bush on the left.
