The image shows three men in an ornate, classical style. Two men are visible from the upper torso up, holding a cloth displaying a third face. The man on the left faces right with wavy, shoulder-length hair and a thick beard, holding a key and a sword. The man on the right tilts his head slightly as he looks outward, with a full, long beard and hair. He holds a book and a stick-like object. The fabric they hold shows a serene face with thorns in the hair. The background features a textured surface and two columns. The image is rendered in a detailed line drawing style.
