A sketch on aged paper with brown spots and smudges depicts two men. The man on the left has long hair, a cloth wrapped around his waist, and holds a sling with a stone in his right hand, positioned to throw. He stands on his right leg with his left leg bent behind him. The man on the right, larger in stature, wears a head covering, a cloth wrapped around his waist, and holds a large sword in his right hand raised overhead. He stands on his right leg with his left leg slightly bent. Handwritten notes are scattered across the paper, including cursive writing that appears to describe the scene and the artist's information.
