The image shows two men walking hand in hand on a cobblestone street. Both men wear long coats, trousers, and top hats. The man on the right has a lanky build, prominent cheekbones, and a sharp chin. He holds a cane. The man on the left is slightly plumper with a rounded face. A small dog walks beside them. In the background are sketched buildings and a woman in a bonnet and long gown walking away, with another dog in the distance.
