Two men are separated by a wooden fence. The man on the left is wearing a dark suit with a long coat and a top hat. He is leaning over the fence and looking at the man on the right. The man on the right is kneeling on one knee, holding a stick or thin object and wearing a loose-fitting outfit with stripes on the lower leg. He has a full beard and a broad-brimmed hat with the letters "M.L.B." The background shows a sketched, rocky landscape or large hill beyond the fence.
