This is a black and white woodcut-style illustration depicting a scene with two figures. On the left, a person stands, dressed in what appears to be a military uniform with a hat. They are holding a long gun, pointing it towards the right. The gun is detailed with a barrel and a stock. On the right, another person is seated in a chair. They are wearing a hat and a coat, and are holding a long, thin object, possibly a cane or a sword. The chair has a high back and appears to be made of wood. Behind the seated figure, there is a window covered with curtains. The curtains are draped and have a patterned design. The background is simple, with a floor and a wall. The style of the illustration is reminiscent of early American folk art or broadsides, with bold lines and a lack of shading.
