The image depicts two men, shown from the waist up. The man on the left is in a slightly turned position facing the right while the man on the right is leaning towards him. The man on the left has a prominent nose, tousled hair peeking out from under a tall, slightly crumpled top hat, and thick muttonchop sideburns. He is dressed in a long coat with a high, protruding collar, a waistcoat, and a cravat. The man on the right sports a shorter, fuller beard and wears spectacles with dark, exaggerated shadows around his eyes, topped by a tall, sleek top hat. He is also dressed in a dark coat with a light shirt and a cravat. The background is filled with printed text. The drawing style is sketch-like, with bold lines and shading.
