Description
Two people in historical attire stand on a stage set with painted, stylized scenery. To the left is a structure with an arched doorway and stone-like texture, and to the right is a rocky formation with a short flight of stairs and large cactus-like plants. One individual wears a dark tunic with a light collar and belt, while the other wears a long, light-colored gown with dark decorative panels. The background consists of a low horizon and a sky with flat, horizontally-oriented clouds.
