The image shows a drawing of two men depicted from the waist up. They are facing each other, both wearing high-collared jackets and formal top hats. The man on the left is shown in profile, with a narrow face and pronounced sideburns, while the man on the right appears to have more pronounced facial features, including a larger nose and chin. Both men's expressions are exaggerated. The man on the right is holding a piece of paper with the words "ACTE DE MART" visible. There are no other visible accessories or objects on them. The background is left blank.
