The image depicts a drawing of two nude male figures, one on top of the other. The figure on top has curly hair and a halo of lines around his head, while the figure below has short hair and is on his knees. The top figure holds a knife in his right hand, which he uses to threaten the figure below, who has his arms raised in defense. The background of the drawing features some clouds and shading to suggest depth. The drawing is rendered in shades of brown on a rectangular piece of paper.
