The image shows two men in a room. One man is sitting in a chair with his legs crossed and looking at his reflection in a mirror, while the other man stands behind him, placing a crown on his head. The seated man's reflection in the mirror shows elongated facial features, dark long hair, and he is wearing a robe. The standing man has curly hair and a focused expression, wearing a long-sleeved shirt and trousers. A coat or fabric hangs on the wall behind him, and there is a lit candle sconce on the wall.
