The image shows two human figures in full-body detail. The figure on the left is a male with short hair, an elongated face, and a stern expression. They are holding a leafy branch and stepping forward. The figure on the right is a female with long hair and a tense expression, slightly turned towards the male. Both figures are unclothed. Above them in the clouds is another figure with a sword, depicted as descending. The background features rocky landscapes, mountains, and dramatic clouds.
