The image shows two full-body figures in profile, drawn side by side. Both figures are in a leaning pose, with their left arms positioned as if resting on a surface. The figures have exaggerated facial features, including prominent noses and lips. They wear elaborate hats with feathers and decorative elements. Their clothing consists of draped fabric, baggy pants, and a distinct pattern and texture. One figure holds a walking stick, while the other has their hand on a surface.
