The image shows two figures - one lying down and the other standing. The lying figure is male, laying horizontally on a stone slab with a slight inclination in the head. The figure is partially covered with cloth around the waist, revealing a muscular torso and has long curly hair and a beard. The standing figure, positioned to the left of the lying figure, appears female and is covered in a flowing dress and cloak. This figure has a halo around the head and delicate features with eyes looking downward. The background shows a rocky outcrop, trees, distant hills, small buildings, and figures engaging in various activities. The sky is depicted with clouds.
