The pencil drawing features two seated individuals shown from the waist up. The person on the left is leaning forward with one elbow on their knee and their hand under their chin, looking towards the person on the right. The person on the right has a full beard and their head tilted slightly to the left. Both individuals wear turbans and are dressed in layered clothing. The background is minimal, and there are no visible objects held by the figures, except for the sword-like object held by the person on the left.
