The image shows a group of seven individuals. The full bodies of four people are visible, while a seated man is cropped at the knees, and two other standing figures are visible up to their thighs. The people stand in a slightly staggered line, with several figures standing while one man sits on the right side. The individual on the right holds a brush and palette. The individuals wear formal attire; some are in suits, while a woman wears a dress and jacket. Various colored circles obscure their faces and hair. Furniture, such as an easel, can be seen, and the background includes a large, multi-paned window, a dresser with objects, and a plant. A large arched doorway and a wooden-beamed ceiling are present, providing an artistic or studio-like ambiance to the room.
