The image depicts two elderly men shown from the waist up, standing closely side by side and facing each other. They are both wearing tall top hats. One man has a large nose and the other has sideburns visible under his hat. The man on the left has short hair visible beneath his hat, and both men are wearing formal attire, characterized by heavy overcoats. The man on the right is slightly turned toward the other, engaging in conversation. There is no visible jewelry on either of them. The background shows a lightly sketched print of text with the words "Les Bons Parisiens" at the top, which suggests that this is a page from a publication.
