The image shows two full-length illustrations of two figures, each on one half of the page. On the left side, the figure labeled "Henricus IV" is standing in a forward-facing position but with his head turned to the left. He is depicted with long, wavy hair and a beard. He is wearing a crown and a detailed robe with intricate designs. His left hand holds an orb topped with a cross, while his right hand rests on a long scepter. On the right side, the figure labeled "Johannes" stands facing forward, with his head slightly to the right, wearing a crown similar to the other figure. He is adorned in ornate armor with detailed patterns and holds a sword in his right hand and a small orb with a cross in his left hand. Both figures are positioned beneath a heraldic shield featuring three lions. The background of the image is filled with faint text or a textured pattern.
