The image shows two men engaged in conversation. The man on the left is slightly bent forward, holding a hat in both hands, with a balding head and sharp facial features. He is wearing a suit with vertically striped pants. The man on the right stands upright with his hands in his pockets. He has a full head of hair and a more weary facial expression, wearing a waistcoat and a necktie. Several other figures are visible in the blurred background of a crowded indoor setting. The scene is in shades of gray, with a textured wall implying an interior environment.
