This grayscale photograph shows two older men with light skin. One man is sitting in an armchair, facing us with his legs crossed, while the other man is standing next to him, holding a cane and bending down to kiss his head. The seated man has a round, wrinkled face and short, thin hair, and he is wearing a striped polo shirt and dark trousers with a belt. The standing man is dressed in a short-sleeved checkered shirt and dark trousers, with a dark cap and suspenders or the strap of a bag over his shoulder. There is a neatly made bed on the left and a framed picture on a counter or surface on the right. White curtains hang on the wall behind the men.
