The image displays two men in military uniforms captured from the waist up. They are posed side by side, facing forward. The man on the left has a smooth complexion, prominent cheekbones, and a slight smile, wearing a tilted cap. The man on the right has a round face with softer features and short hair. Both wear uniforms with high collars, buttons, shoulder straps, and pockets. The background is plain sepia with water stains. No jewelry or objects are visible.
