The image shows two men from the shoulders up. The man on the right is slightly closer to the camera and is in a slight profile view, looking down. He has a prominent mustache, dark hair, a textured jacket, a shirt with a spread collar, and a patterned tie. On his head, there is a party hat with visible text that reads "YEA." The man on the left is positioned further back, looking at the man in front. His hair appears short and lighter in color. He wears a jacket over a patterned shirt, buttoned to the collar, and also dons a party hat with "HAPPY NEW YEAR" written on it, along with decorative elements. The background is a wooden panel wall with lighting casting shadows on it and some decorations at the top.
