The image shows two full-body figures walking side by side. They are mid-stride, with the person on the left ahead and looking downward. Both have drawn and weathered facial features, long hair under wide-brimmed hats, heavy cloaks, knee-length trousers, and boots. Each carries a long spear-like object over their shoulder. The figure on the right holds something similar to a fowl. The background is minimalistic with a few sketchy lines indicating a landscape and some trees or bushes in the distance to the right.
