Summary

Two male figures are depicted in a dark shadowy space with no background details. The figure to the left wears shorts and top. Although his body is turned to the left with both arms stretched up, his head is twisted back to look at the figure behind him. The man to the right seems to be barefoot and wears shorts, top and a cap. This figure is lit up brightly and seen in profile to the left holding a lacrosse bat about his head. His right leg is out straight in front whilst the left is bent.
