Oil on canvas. A figure can be seen on the left of the scene looking away from something behind them, and they have a hand raised to block the view.
Behind is a second figure following in long black robes that completely hide their shape. A hood over their head hides their face in darkness. One arm is extended out to the first first figure, long bony fingers reaching out to touch them.
In the background is a rocky desolate scene, and the ground is made of rocks, mostly jagged and pointing upwards, the figures are making their way along the only path through a dangerous landscape. The first figure, however, is stepping onto cut grass, mixed with flowers (irises and snowdrops), and is walking in a direction that would take them out of the painting via the bottom left corner. Sunshine lights this grass and the front of the first figure.
