Two figures are set side by side on a pale ground in this fine-line engraving. At left, a muscular nude man reclines and turns his head, a wing extended behind him. At right, a draped man pours from a vase while a dog crouches at his feet.

Look closer: A small plate number '29' is engraved in the lower left corner.
