The Woodner Collections: Master Drawings from Seven Centuries

The image shows two full-length figures facing each other. The person on the left is standing and playing a long trumpet-like instrument. They have curly hair, delicate facial features, and wear a flowing gown. The person on the right is also standing, holding a long staff, with straight hair and a serene expression. Both figures wear detailed gowns and are set against a plain, grid-patterned background.
