On the left, the man stands upright, holding a cane. He has a dark mustache and a red hat over his dark hair, and he is wearing a white tunic with a red detail on the chest, brown trousers, a sash, and red-and-gold footwear. On the right, the man is seated on a chair with his arm on the armrest, with his dark hair visible and a gold scarf over the same white tunic. The background is dark brown.
