The image shows two full-body sketches of figures seen from behind. The figure on the left wears a cloak, a hat with a feather, and holds a cane. Their hair is curly. The cloak splits at the back, revealing knee-length breeches tied at the knees. The figure on the right is similarly dressed, with slight differences in stance and cloak angle. The background is a plain, textured surface.
