The image depicts two full-body drawings of a person from behind and in profile. Both figures are standing facing slightly to the right, with one holding a long object resembling a staff or walking stick in their left hand and a tankard in the right hand. The facial features are not visible. The person wears a wide-brimmed hat, a long coat belted at the waist, knee-length trousers or leggings, and shoes with visible soles. The left figure's coat has vertical lines suggesting a textured fabric. The figures are set against a plain background.
