The image features two oval portraits side by side. The portrait on the left shows an old man wearing a hooded garment with only his face visible. He has wrinkles and a somber expression, looking forward. The man on the right has curly, short hair and wears a flat cap. He has age lines and looks slightly upward with a thoughtful expression. The background of each portrait is lined, and the image is rendered in a monochromatic, etching-like style.
