- The composition consists of two warriors: one holding a spear with a broken tip and the other with a bright red shield bearing the symbol of a white cross, also holding the tip of the broken spear
- The shared dark surface of their bodies connects them, making them close and united rather than in conflict, as affirmed by the title of the artwork, regardless of the reason for their encounter
- The composition is tied together by the prominent diagonal of the spear, which runs from the lower left corner of the painting to the upper right. The figures are painted against a solid light blue background
