The image displays two figures in full body view drawn in an etching style. The figure on the left is walking in profile towards the left side. This person is older with sparse, slightly disheveled hair, and a prominent nose. They wear a long coat and hold a plumed hat in the left hand with a sword hilt visible near the waist. The figure on the right is younger, with fuller, styled hair, wearing a similar long coat with decorative elements at the waist and a sword. Both figures are set against a flat, unvaried background, highlighting the detailed line work.
