The image shows two full-length figures side by side. The figure on the left leans slightly and has their left arm on the other figure's shoulder. They have curly hair, defined facial features, and wear draped fabric over their shoulder. They hold a bow and have a quiver on their back. The figure on the right has their left arm across their chest and their right hand on a staff. They have curly hair and wear draped fabric around their waist. Both figures are barefoot, and the right figure has intricate legwear. In the background, there's a tree and a cherub-like figure holding onto the second figure's staff. The background has a rocky texture with plant growth. A mark resembling a signature is on the left side near the tree.
