A beginner's question for descriptive statistics

Apologies for the probably crude question (and phrasing thereof!), I am a med student and this is my first time working with jamovi or any kind of statistics program. :-) How can I solve the following problem:
I have a list of patients with a certain type of cancer and their data. Among others, I have the variables "age" - which is continuous - and "Recurrent tumor - yes or no" which is nominal. I would like to somehow depict the age variable split by recurrent yes/no. (So something like one bar with the ages for recurrent no, and one bar with the ages for recurrent yes.)
I would really appreciate if someone on here had any idea how to solve this - or, if it isn't possible, ideas how to create something similar.

I think violin or boxplots would be more appropriate in your case
