The image shows two men standing in a domestic setting. The man on the left wears a long coat and a top hat, holding a glass in his right hand. The man on the right also wears a top hat and a suit, looking at the other man. They stand near a cabinet with bottles and decorations, and a mirror with foliage hangs on the wall behind them. Another cabinet with glass doors, a framed picture, and a small American flag on a shelf are also visible in the background. The setting has wooden floors and walls.
