Black and white image. Two men in a courtyard. The man on the left has curly hair, a beard and mustache. He wears a short skirt and holds a club. A bear skin hangs from his left shoulder. He faces right. The man on the right has short hair and wears a short skirt with a cape. He holds a long garment. He faces left. A building with columns and a triangular pediment is in the background on the left. The building on the right is curved with several columns. Two more men are in the background on the right, struggling. The image appears to be a woodcut.
