The image is a black and white photograph of two men standing on the steps of a building. The man on the left is leaning over the railing and appears to be writing on a large blackboard. He is wearing a white shirt and trousers and is bending down to pick up something from the ground. The other man is sitting on the ground and is looking up at the blackboard with his hand on his chin. The blackboard is filled with text written in different languages, including English, French, German, and Italian. The text on the board is written in white chalk and is not clearly visible. The background of the image is blurred, but it seems to be a street or sidewalk.
