The image is a black and white photograph of a man and a woman in a room with a wooden floor and a staircase in the background. The man is standing on the left side of the image, facing the woman on the right side. He is wearing a vest, trousers, and boots, and is holding a cane in his right hand. The woman is standing next to him, wearing a long dress and a bow tie. She is holding the cane in her left hand and appears to be looking at the man with a serious expression on her face. There is a table and chairs in the room, and a chandelier hanging from the ceiling. The overall mood of the photograph is tense and contemplative.
