The image displays two men, with about half of their bodies visible. The man in the foreground is resting his chin on his right hand. His facial features are well-defined and angular, with a prominent nose and deep-set eyes. He has close-cropped hair. The man in the background is slightly behind the first, also looking forward with defined facial features and a similar haircut. Both men are wearing heavy, textured clothing. In the foreground, there are thick books or slabs stacked on top of each other, with some plant-like foliage growing between them. The background is dark and abstract.
