Three individuals are depicted in the image, each positioned side by side. The central figure, a young woman, faces towards the left with closed eyes and a cloth wrapped around her head. She wears a dark cloak with a circular brooch at her collar. To her left is an old man in profile with a cap and dark clothing. On her right is another older man in profile with a cloak and raised collar, appearing to hold his hands together. The background consists of vertically sketched lines.
