The image depicts two men from the waist up, standing in profile to one another inside a room with vertical bars on a large window behind them. Both men are facing each other and appear engaged in conversation. The man on the left has short, neatly combed back hair, a prominent nose, and visible wrinkles on his face. He wears a jacket. The man on the right has curly hair and an expressive smile, and he is dressed in a dark sweater with his hands clasped together behind his back. The background features vertical bars against a bright, featureless backdrop.
