The image features two men. The first man is depicted from the waist up, standing upright with his body slightly turned to the side. He has a stern facial expression, an exaggerated nose, and a military-style haircut. He is wearing a dark uniform with a large white belt across his chest. The second man is seated and leaning on a desk, holding a piece of paper in one hand and resting his chin on the other. He has a cartoonish face with a mustache and a cap tilted on his head. His uniform also has decorative shoulder pads. The background of the image has a faint textured pattern with superimposed text at the top and bottom, resembling a newspaper or print setting. On the desk in front of the seated man, there is a sealed ink bottle with a pen in it.
