This is a drawing of a scene showing two men. One man is on the right, carrying a large sphere on his shoulders. This man is muscular, with short, curly hair, a short beard, and a toga partially covering his body. On the left, the other man is seated on a stone bench, looking at the man holding the sphere. This man has shorter hair and a longer beard, and he appears slightly older and is nude. The background features rolling hills, distant mountains, and patches of vegetation. A wide river curves across the landscape below, and there are some buildings along the water. The lines appear brown against the beige paper, with some areas of dark gray shading.
