The image shows a sketch of two similar male figures drawn in profile, positioned side by side and facing right. Both figures are shown in a walking stance, with one leg slightly bent in front. The figures have bearded faces with an aged appearance, and their heads are slightly bald. They are dressed in loose-fitting clothes and jackets, with one figure's jacket having vertical lines indicating draped fabric. Both figures hold a hat in one hand, suggesting a motion with the free hand extended slightly ahead. The background is plain and unadorned.
