The image shows two men standing in profile, facing each other from the waist up. The man on the left wears a short-sleeved bright shirt and has very short-cropped hair. The man on the right wears a similar bright shirt and sports cornrow braids. Both men stand with their heads tilted slightly upward. They wear denim pants and decorative belts with intricate designs around their waists. The background is plain and dark, emphasizing the two figures.
