The image depicts a woodblock print of two men in a scene likely related to printing. The standing man on the left wears a green hat with a white band, a black jacket over a white shirt and pants, and black shoes; he holds a sheet of paper with rows of text. The seated man on the right wears a blue hat with a green band and gold accents, a black jacket, white pants, and black shoes; he sits on a red chair at a low green table, writing with a brush on a long sheet of paper. On the right side of the image, a red table holds stacks of black books. The background of the image is a solid beige color, with Japanese characters in black ink in the upper right and lower left corners. The title of the print is "Russian Printers" and it is attributed to the artist Utagawa Yoshikazu.
