Watercolor painting of two African men. One in the forground is facing the right and the painting shows his head until his shoulders, and only one shoulder is in frame. His eyes are slightly squinted, ad his dark skin is made up of different triangular shapes of shades of brown and orange. He wears a golden collar around his neck with golden details dangling from it every couple beads. The man behind him has thick lips and looks in the opposite direction. Only his face is showing, and none of his body or head has been painted.
