The central figure also faces forward, wearing a similar fringed outfit with long dark hair and a feathered headpiece. The person on the right stands with arms under a blanket adorned with a circular emblem, appearing wrapped warmly. The background shows a gradient sky transitioning from blue to yellow and green, suggesting an open landscape with light grass.
