The image shows two caricatured figures in a full-body depiction. The person on the left, an older man, stands facing the other figure with his feet apart and hands tucked into his coat pockets. He has a large head with exaggerated facial features and wears a wide-brimmed hat. He is dressed in a long coat over a waistcoat, shirt, and cravat, and there is an object at his feet. The second person, on the right, is a younger man standing with a slightly slouched posture and his hands held together in front of him. His facial features are also exaggerated, with a long nose and sagging facial structure, and he has unkempt hair. He is dressed in a tailcoat with vertically striped trousers and is looking toward the older man. The background is plain with light shading around the figures.
