The image depicts two men in a room. The man on the left is standing, leaning over a table with both hands on its surface, while the man on the right is seated, leaning forward with one hand gripping the back of his chair. The man on the left has short, light-colored hair and a somber expression, wearing a dark, long-sleeved garment. The man on the right has a pronounced nose, an open mouth, and wears a dark hat; his hair is not distinctly visible. His attire consists of a patterned jacket worn over a shirt, light-colored pants, and stockings. The table holds a large book and a few stacks of coins. Behind them, the room is sparsely decorated with a framed picture on the wall. The setting appears to be a dimly lit room, suggestive of an old-fashioned or classic setting, possibly an office or study.
