The image depicts two men on a sidewalk, viewed from above. Both men are visible in full body. The man on the right is standing with one hand in his pocket, dressed in a dark suit and a cap, looking upwards. The man on the left is leaning slightly towards the other man, wearing a light-colored suit, a light fedora hat, and extending his arm towards the first man. Another figure is partially visible in the lower part of the frame, and a head with a cap is visible on the far left, peeking from behind a vehicle. The vehicle, an early model car, is parked on cobbled pavement beside the sidewalk. A wooden utility pole is seen rising from the pavement near the men. The background consists of the sidewalk and the lower corner of a building.
