Inside, a standing older man in a long coat and tall hat leans on a cane and grasps his hands together while facing a seated younger man. The seated man reclines on a chair with one leg extended and rests his elbow on a barrel, holding a cloth to his face.

The scene is monochrome with detailed hatching and crosshatching throughout.
