The wall behind them is light-colored, with a darker section on the left. The men's faces are serious, and their robes are formal. The painting's style is loose and expressive, with visible brushstrokes. The artist has used a range of colors, from dark browns and blacks to lighter tans and grays. The painting is a portrait of two men, likely from the 19th century. To learn more about the artist's use of chiaroscuro, look up Honoré Daumier.
