The image shows two men from the waist up. The man on the left is in profile view, with his left hand raised to his mouth. He has curly hair and sideburns, with a tall top hat. His facial features are relaxed, with closed eyes and a small mustache. He is wearing a dark coat, a white shirt or cravat, and a visible vest. The man on the right is facing forward but turned slightly to the left, holding a cigarette. He has a contorted facial expression with furrowed brows and closed eyes. He has short, straight hair and wears a similar dark coat with a high-collared shirt. Both men are depicted in a sketch style, with no visible jewelry. The background is plain with light shading and hand-drawn text at the top and bottom.
