The two men are pictured standing in the center of the image. Both men wear light colored three piece suits with flat caps. The man to the left of the image is taller and stands with his body facing towards the camera, proper left leg out, with his head and face tilted down towards the other man. His arm is bent at the elbow, with the other man's hand linked through and resting on his arm. The man to the right of the image is shorter and stands with his body facing towards the camera, feet apart. He is looking up towards the taller man, with his proper right arm linked through the other man's bent arm and his proper left arm held slightly out at his side. The background is out of focus, but what may be a large, multi-paned window is visible behind them. On the back center, in blue ink, is a stamp in the shape of a bell reading [The Bell Studio / 551 8th AVE / Bet 37th & 38th St / NY].
