The image shows two main figures in the foreground. The figure on the left is standing upright with hands behind his back, dressed in a long black coat, white shirt, and light-colored pants, topped with a tall black hat. He has a short beard and mustache, and his dark hair is mostly covered by the hat. The figure on the right is also depicted standing with arms out. This person has a bald head, large eyes, and wears a simple garment resembling a towel tied around the waist. In the background, there are two figures; one is standing with a towel draped over one shoulder, while the other is diving into a pool area. The scene appears to take place in an indoor setting with a pool and architectural elements.
