This print shows two men. The man on the left is in profile, looking to the right at the other man. He has exaggerated features, with a sloping nose, a wide, downturned mouth opened to reveal a few large teeth, and a weak, flabby chin. His eyes are large and wide, and his eyebrows are raised high on his forehead. His arms are extended outward, towards the other man. The man on the right has his arms crossed and his shoulders raised in a shrug. He faces us, but his eyes look towards the right. He has a large, round nose, wide eyes, and raised eyebrows. His closed lips are downturned, and he has a dark beard and mustache. Both men have light skin and dark, curly hair, and they wear draped cloth garments. The background is mostly off-white paper, with some darker shading in the area between the men. Words are written faintly at the bottom of the paper.
