The image is a black and white illustration showing two men in a full-body view. The man on the left is standing upright, facing slightly left, with his arms at his sides, while the man on the right is facing him with an animated posture, with his right hand open and gesturing. The man on the left has a long, narrow face with a prominent nose and chin and short or tucked under a tall top hat. He wears a long coat with a high collar and tails, narrow trousers, and holds something in his left hand. The man on the right has a square-shaped face with sideburns and bushy brows. He wears a shorter hat, a cape over his shoulders, and a patterned scarf around his neck. Both men wear shoes with pointed toes. In the background, there is a simple landscape with hills and a small windmill-like structure to the left. The drawing is set on a lightly text-filled background printed beneath the illustration.
