The image shows two figures seated on uneven ground. The person on the left is reclining, with one arm supporting them, while the other arm rests on their body. They wear a headpiece and draped clothing, with a gun and bag nearby. The second figure sits with legs pulled up to their chest, arms wrapped around their knees, and head resting on folded arms. In the background, there are small groves of trees, two figures on horseback, and a person walking.
