The person on the right has a round hairstyle, typical of a tonsure, and is wearing an ornate robe with visible striped patterns. This person is holding a cup in the right hand. The background features a simple architectural setting with a roof pattern in brown and green hues set against a plain wall, all outlined in black lines.
