You see two men talking to each other in this lithograph. They have very different appearances and body language. The man with no hair wears striped pants and a dark jacket, while the other man has more hair and a patterned coat. This contrast shows their different personalities and social roles, which is interesting because it says a lot about how people were seen in society back then. You can learn more about this style by looking at the technique: lithography.
