This is a drawing of two men and a barber seated on a riverside embankment. The scene depicts a makeshift barbershop where one man sits on stone steps wrapped in a barber's cape, while the barber is cutting his hair. The seated man holds his hat in his lap. Another man, seated on the right, watches the activity while resting his arms atop a large sack. The setting includes cobblestone pavement, a towel, and barber's tools scattered on the ground. In the background, there are more figures walking and leaning against the riverside railing. The drawing uses intricate line work and shading to show detailed textures.
