The image depicts two men. The man in the foreground is shown from the waist up, leaning over a podium or lectern, with his arms resting on the surface. His head is turned slightly to his left with sharp features, long nose, and high cheekbones. His hair is slicked back. He is wearing a dark suit with a bow tie, a white buttoned shirt, and a dark jacket with broad lapels, adorned with a boutonniere. Beside him on the podium are a decanter and a small glass. The man in the background is pictured from the knees up, standing behind the first man. He has a full mustache, wears a military-style cap with an eagle insignia and a cloak or heavy coat. He holds a rifle vertically in his hands. The background shows a dimly lit room with wooden details and paneling.
