The seated person is wearing a detailed cap, a fur-trimmed coat, a beard, and spectacles. The kneeling man has short hair and his face looks somewhat expressive. He is dressed in a plain shirt and pants, with his hands raised near his chest. The background has a texture and the year "1524" is visible. There are some plain furnishings and a bowl on the side.
