The illustration features two busts within oval frames, showing the head and shoulders of both individuals. On the left, a person in three-quarter view faces right, wearing a cap and a robe. The individual has short, curly hair under the cap and defined facial features, including prominent eyebrows. On the right, a person in profile faces left, wearing a head cover similar to a hood and a high-collared garment. The profile highlights the nose, lips, and chin. Both figures wear shaded, textured clothing, indicative of historical attire. The background consists of fine, horizontal lines outside the oval frames, giving the image a classic appearance.
