The image shows two individuals walking. The person on the right wears a high top hat, a coat with long tails, and tight-fitting trousers. The person has a pronounced nose, sideburns, and a mustache, with short, sleek hair visible under the hat. The person on the left holds a parasol above their head. They wear a bonnet, a long skirt with an overlay of fabric, and a fitted bodice. The background is a countryside setting with sketchy vegetation and a distant building. The sky is depicted with sweeping lines representing clouds.
