The image shows two men behind a tall wooden desk. The man on the left is visible from the chest upwards, sitting upright with his head slightly tilted back. He has a robust build, a full mustache, and a beard, with closely cropped hair. He wears round glasses and a button-up coat with a high collar. The man on the right is partially obscured, also sitting, with his head bent forward, revealing dark wavy hair that extends to his shoulders, and a thick mustache. This man appears to be wearing a similar coat. The background suggests an indoor setting, with light and shadows. On the desk in the foreground, there is an assortment of objects including a closed book, a letter set above it, a pair of eyeglasses, a revolver, and what seems to be a coiled rope. The desk's surface and the objects on it are shaded with detailed attention to texture.
