This painting shows a young man in a red robe, gesturing as he talks to an older man in a brown robe. The older man is holding a staff and looking at the younger one. In the background, there are buildings and a blue sky. The younger man's gesture suggests he is trying to make a point or tell a story. The older man's expression is hard to read, but he seems to be listening intently. If you like this painting, you might want to look up more works by the artist, Pierre Subleyras.
