This painting shows two people in a theater setting. One is dressed as a king and the other in regular clothes. They seem to be in the middle of a conversation. The king's costume is very detailed, with a big hat and a fancy robe. This tells us that the artist was interested in how people play roles in life. To learn more about this kind of artwork, look into the technique: lithography.
