The image consists of two men in bust length, set within oval frames side by side. The man on the left is depicted in a three-quarter view facing slightly to the right, with a grin and facial lines, wearing a snug cap and a garment. The man on the right is also in a three-quarter view but facing slightly left, with a somber expression, facial details, a short curly beard, and hair visible under his cap, wearing a collared garment similar to a cloak. Both figures are framed within separate decorated oval borders on a textured background.
