This painting shows two figures standing side by side against a dark blue background. The figure on the left looks like a soldier with a sword and armor, wearing bright red and gold. The figure on the right is dressed in red robes with gold trim, holding a small object in one hand. Both have golden halos, and the soldier has wings. The figures are stiff and flat, with bold outlines and bright colors that stand out. The paint looks worn, as if it’s been around for a long time.
