The image is an engraving showing two men in an upper body shot, positioned side by side within separate oval frames. Both men are facing slightly towards the center with their bodies turned towards the viewer. On the left, the man has a long face with high cheekbones, narrow eyes, and thin lips. His hair is gray and worn short under a skullcap. He is wearing a dark garment with a wide white collar. The man on the right also has a long face, narrow eyes, and a gentle smile. He too wears his graying hair short and has a skullcap. His attire is similarly a dark garment with a prominent wide white collar. Below the two portraits, there is an ornate coat of arms featuring two creatures on either side of a shield. The background consists of a simple lined pattern that creates a contrast with the detailed focus on the faces. The frame holding the engraving provides an additional decorative border.
