Summary

Male and female figure to right of centre are seen in profile facing towards each other, holding hands. The female figure wears a conical head dress whilst the male figure's head dress has tassles. Another male figure, who is balding and has a fearful look in his face with his brow furrowed and mouth open, stands in the foreground to the left holding onto a tree trunk with his left hand and a knife with his right hand which is behind his back. There is a landscape in the background with a castle in the distance to the right.
