The image depicts two puppet figures with intricately carved wooden faces, standing against a solid black background. The character on the left is dressed in a fur-lined, regal robe, holding an hourglass, while the figure on the right wears a patterned outfit with a somber expression. The hourglass, a symbol of time passing, is central to the scene, and both characters appear elderly and reflective, adding a contemplative, philosophical tone to the image.
