The image shows three individuals seated closely together on an outdoor terrace. The man on the left is seated on a wooden chair and has a concentrated or annoyed expression. He is wearing a patterned vest over a light-colored shirt and trousers. Next to him, another man is seated with closed eyes and an expression of discomfort. He has short, dark hair combed back and is wearing a long-sleeved shirt with a high collar. The third individual on the right appears to be batting away a swarm of insects with a hat. The background shows buildings faintly visible in the distance.
