The image is a drawing of four individuals arranged in two separate boxes. In the top left corner, two people are visible from the waist up. The one on the left is seated sideways, with a tilted head and appears to be resting their chin on their hand. They are wearing a dark jacket and a wide-brimmed hat. Next to them is another person, seen leaning forward slightly with their hands together and their head turned sideways. This person has dark hair pulled back and is dressed in a dark outfit with a visible white collar. Below them, in a separate box, is a man visible from the chest up, leaning on the barrier of the box with his forearms resting on it. He has combed-back hair and a mustache, and he wears a suit with a tie. There is a faint evidence of another figure behind him. The background is predominantly imitations of crosshatches, giving a shadowed effect. A signature is present on the bottom left corner of the drawing.
