A large ballroom with decorated arches and costumed people in the background. Two men stand at the centre in the foreground. The one on the left is clean-shaven and wearing glasses. His hair is grey and wavy. His costume, consisting of cassock, flouncy cloak and buckle shoes, is in 18th-century style. He is holding an ear trumpet at his left ear towards the man standing opposite him to the right. That man is dressed in a 16th or 17th-century costume with dark doublet, knee-length breeches, cloak and wide, white lace collar. He is clean-shaven and wears his dark hair at shoulder-length. His hat is tucked under his left arm, and he is holding a rapier in his left hand. Swain's signature is in the lower left corner.
