The image shows two men. One man is seated in an armchair, leaning back with his hands on his lap. He has wavy hair, a slightly prominent nose, and a double chin. He is wearing an ornate coat with a star on the chest, knee-length breeches, and stockings. The other man is standing slightly behind him, with his hands on the seated man's shoulder. He has delicate features, shoulder-length wavy hair, and wears an embroidered coat, breeches, and stockings. The setting is grand, with a high-arched door, decorative carvings, heavy curtains, and a small table with curved legs.
