The image shows two men from their knees upwards. The man on the left is in a sideways stance, gesturing with his hands. He has a prominent nose, thin lips, and short, curly hair. He is dressed in a black gown and wears a tall hat. The man on the right stands facing the first man, with his hands at his sides. He has a beard and longer unkempt hair. This man is dressed in a rough coat and pants. The background includes a bench and a plain wall, with text at the top and bottom related to legal or justice themes.
