The image depicts two men standing in the foreground. The man on the left leans against a wall with both hands resting on a stick or cane, facing the other man. He has a bearded face and is wearing a cap, a sleeveless top, and knee-length trousers. The man on the right stands upright, gripping a stick with both hands, also wearing a cap, a loose-fitting shirt, and cropped pants. In the background, two men are seen bending over as they drag another person across the ground. The setting is outdoors, with buildings, a mountain, and a sky with sparse clouds in the background. A low fence or railing separates the foreground from the rest of the landscape.
