Three full-bodied figures are shown in a dramatic scene. Two women stand on either side of a man. One woman on the left is holding onto the man's shoulders, while the woman on the right has her hands raised. Both women have curly hair and wide-eyed facial expressions. The woman on the left wears a dark dress, and the woman on the right wears a striped gown. The man in the center is leaning forward, wearing a dark suit and a hat, seemingly moving towards the woman on the left. The setting is indoors, with large drapes and a folding screen behind them.
