The image shows two figures in a dynamic composition. The main figure is in profile, with one foot on the ground and the other slightly lifted. The figure has curly hair and a muscular build, drawing a bow with an arrow. The second figure, positioned lower and in front, has flowing, curly hair and wings, holding their right hand upwards. The background is simple, with faint script visible on the right side. The drawing is in sepia tones.
