A horizontally oriented print in black ink depicts three figures near a stone ruin. In the center, a young man stands facing right, holding a large oval shield featuring a face. Beside him, an older bearded man in draped robes looks down at an open book. To the left, a third figure sits with their back turned. A gnarled tree rises behind them, while a heavy chain lies in the foreground.
