The image shows three men seated closely together. They are all visible from the waist up. The man in the middle is upright and wears a dark suit and tall hat. He has a mustache and is gesturing with his hands while looking at the man on his right. The man on the left is slightly hunched, looking towards the man in the middle. He wears a shirt and cap with short, untidy hair. The man on the right is also hunched, dressed similarly to the man on the left, and appears to be looking at his wrist or an object in his hand. They are seated outdoors with large stone blocks and bricks behind them, with building outlines and visible windows in the background.
