The image shows five individuals interacting. The central figure is an older person wearing elaborate clothing with a large hat and a feather, and a garment with fur-lined sleeves. This person has curly hair and a prominent nose, looking towards two others on the left who appear to be elderly, both cloaked with hoods or head coverings. To the right, a shorter figure wearing a hat and a cloak stands in front of another individual with a hat featuring long feathers. The latter has short hair and a beard. The background is plain, focusing on the characters. No jewelry or objects are visible.
