In the image, there are two central figures. One is an older man seated, shown from the chest up with one hand resting on a rolled scroll. He has a beard and disheveled hair, and his expression is focused as he gazes upward. The man's body is muscular and mostly uncovered, with a cloth draped over his lap. An elegant woman stands beside him, gesturing towards him, with styled hair and flowing garments. The background features architectural elements like columns and arches.
