Two men are sitting on the roof of a brick building. One man is on the left side and the other on the right, both with their legs hanging over the edge. The man on the left is wearing a wide-brimmed hat, a light-colored shirt, and pants. The man on the right is also wearing a hat, a light shirt with suspenders, and has facial hair. Around them are chimney stacks, a basket, and various tools. In the background, there is a blurry view of rooftops and trees. The lower foreground shows a brick wall of the building and some windows.
