Two naked, muscular men pose standing outdoors beside a lake surrounded by mountains, holding lit torches that illuminate the scene with warm light against a gray, misty sky. Both have medium-length hair and beards, hairy torsos, skin stained with mud or dust, and a serious, almost ritual expression. Their penises are visible; the man on the right also wears dark leather straps around his waist, a short cloak behind him, and bands on his legs, while the man on the left wears only armbands and anklets. The rocky surroundings, wet grass, fire, smoke, and Nordic landscape create a primitive, warrior-like, ceremonial atmosphere.
