The image depicts two individuals from the waist up leaning against a brick wall. The person on the left shows a side profile, with short, dark hair covered by a wide-brimmed hat. They wear a loose, light-colored shirt, traditional trousers, and have a bag slung over their shoulder. The person on the right faces the camera with a direct gaze, wearing a round-brimmed hat, a light-colored buttoned-up shirt, and short hair. Both are casually posed, with one holding a cigarette. The background consists of a textured wall made of large, uniformly laid bricks, with soft lighting emphasizing their features.
