Fictional pair on an unrolling map

In a fictional hand-coloured print-style snow scene, two brown-grey-clothed figures hold a huge map that curls from the foreground into a long slope. One sits and looks back while the other bends over its edge, before distant lines of people, bare trees and pale sky.
