A horizontal black-and-white photograph depicts two middle-aged, light-skinned men sitting on an exterior stone doorstep in front of a metal grate. The man on the left wears a light colored newsboy cap, a light-colored button-down shirt, a pair of dark denim trousers, and black leather boots; he looks at something to the right of the frame. The man on the right wears a dark-colored newsboy hat, a dark jacket, dirty, lighter-wash jeans, and leather lowtop laced shoes; this man also looks to the right of the image, but his eyes are downcast.
