The image is a black-and-white photograph showing the upper bodies and heads of two men. The man on the left wears a thick knit sweater with a high, rolled collar, and a shirt and tie. He has short, tousled hair and his face is angled slightly toward the camera. The man on the right is dressed in a dark suit with a white shirt and dark tie, sitting upright. He has a receding hairline with short hair brushed back, and he looks directly at the camera. A pen is visible in the breast pocket of his jacket. Behind them, the background consists of a light-colored, vertical-striped wall, bisected by a darker vertical line.
