The image depicts two caricatures of elderly figures facing each other. The figure on the left is an elderly man standing upright with his hands behind his back. He has exaggerated facial features, with a prominent nose and chin, and short hair. He is dressed in a loose-fitting shirt and pants. The figure on the right is an elderly woman who appears to be leaning slightly forward while gesturing with her hand. She has a pointed nose, a crown on her head, and is dressed in a flowing gown that reads "Monarchie." Her gown and hair are covered by a long veil. She holds a book-like object in her hand. The background is plain with a faintly sketched floor, suggesting an indoor setting.
