The image shows two figures in an outdoor rocky setting. One figure stands on the left with a forward posture holding a long stick, while the other figure kneels on the right also holding a stick. The first figure is shown from the back with one foot on a rock and the other lifted on a higher ledge. The second figure appears older, with distinct facial features and spectacles, wearing a long coat, head covering, and carrying a backpack. The background features lightly sketched landscape lines suggesting distant hills or mountains.
