A vertically oriented drypoint print depicts two slender boys with light skin tones against a textured background of fine lines. On our left, a boy stands in profile facing right with hands behind his back, wearing only briefs. To our right, another boy faces us with hands on his hips, wearing a sleeveless top and briefs. In the upper left, the name "Picasso" and a diamond shape containing "1905" are etched.
