The image shows two figures in a dimly lit outdoor setting at night. On the left, an older figure is seated, cloaked in a heavy garment with a hood. On the right, a figure stands upright, pouring water from a jug and holding a torch. They have long hair, flowing robes, and bare feet. Nearby is a small dog and an overturned wheel. The background features a night sky with a moon, trees, and a building.
