The image depicts the upper bodies of two figures: a man and a human skeleton. The man is situated next to the skeleton, on the right side of the image. The man has a serious expression, a mustache, short cropped hair, and is wearing a shirt with a collar. His arms are crossed in front of his torso. The skeleton, on the left side, has a visible skull and ribcage. In the background, there is an illustration of a skull with large horns mounted on the wall.
