Description de l’image
The image shows two individuals standing close to a stylized architectural structure resembling a church or a cathedral with towers featuring green roofs and rectangular windows. The person on the left is wearing a golden crown with a cross on top and a halo in a green hue. This individual is dressed in a purple robe and is holding a golden key in their right hand. 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.
