The image portrays two elderly men, George Harper on the left and William Spoelhof on the right engaging in a thoughtful conversation, both seated and deeply focused on their exchange. The man on the left, dressed in a casual light blue shirt, leans slightly towards his companion, who is attired in a formal suit with a striped tie. Spoelhof's arm is extended and he is looking at his watch.
