The image features two individuals from the waist up. They are positioned facing each other. The person on the left is leaning over slightly and pointing a finger towards the candle held by the person on the right. Their facial features are exaggerated, with pronounced noses and expressive eyes. Both individuals wear caps that match their garments. The person on the left has more prominent cheekbones and a slightly open mouth, while the person on the right has wide eyes focused on the candle and a slightly open mouth. They are both dressed in loose-fitting, hood-like garments with slits for their arms. The person on the right is holding a candlestick with a lit candle, casting light between them. The background consists of vertically arranged drapes with ornate patterns.
