This is a drawing of two figures wearing cloaks and hats, viewed from the back. The drawing features two outlined figures standing beside each other, each dressed in a flowing cape that reaches down to their thighs, and adorned with decorative bows tied around their legs. They appear to be holding walking sticks or canes. The hats perched upon their heads are round and wide-brimmed, with decorative elements embellishing them. The figure on the left exhibits more intricate linework, suggesting shadows and folds within the cloak, while the right figure is drawn with more minimal lines. The background is plain.
