The image shows two men sitting near a waterfront, with one man lying down and the other sitting with a weary expression. The man on the left is dressed in a flat cap, vest, and long-sleeved shirt, while the man on the right wears a dark suit and tie. Papers or magazines are spread on the ground next to them, showing illustrations of people. In the background, there is a river or body of water with industrial buildings, a bridge, and several boats.
