The image features two men standing from just below the knee upwards. The man on the left is facing slightly towards the other man, with his body mostly turned to his side. The man on the right stands facing left with a slight turn of his body towards the viewer. The left man has a prominent nose, large eyes, neatly styled hair under a small cap, and is dressed in a dark jacket over a light shirt with vertical stripes and matching striped pants. The right man has a large chin, pronounced cheekbones, and his hair is covered by a wide-brimmed hat. He wears a loose-fitting shirt, pants, and a netted garment draped over his right shoulder, carrying a long object behind him. In the background, there is a lightly sketched landscape with a house on the left and sparse trees, while the drawing primarily focuses on the two foreground figures with minimal details in the background.
