The image shows a man standing, partially obscured by shadow. He has slicked-back hair and a cigarette in his mouth. He is wearing a dark coat with fur collar, a white shirt, and a dark tie. His right hand is raised as if holding something. In the background, another man dressed in dark clothing faces the opposite direction, with a framed picture on the wall behind him. The setting appears to be indoors with dim lighting.
