The image is a pencil sketch showing side profiles of two elderly men's heads and shoulders. Both men have their heads bowed and eyes closed. The sketch captures the facial features of both men with detailed lines, including their noses and chins. Their hair is thin and closely depicted with fine lines. They appear to be wearing suits, as collared jackets are visible on their shoulders. The background is plain, with a signature and a date written at the lower center of the image, reading "Charles W. Eliot, 1904, Ravenswood-in," and an additional script below, possibly identifying the subject or the artist's location.
