The image portrays the upper bodies of two individuals. The person on the left wears a classical-style helmet with armor detailing and looks to the right. The person on the right appears elderly with long white hair, a beard, and mustache. They are draped in a simple garment and raising one hand expressively, with the other hand lowered at their side. The background is a textured shading typical of a drawn illustration, with inscriptions above and below the figures.
