The image shows three men indoors. The man on the left is slightly bent with his eyes looking down, short dark curly hair, and a bandage on his left cheek. He wears a long overcoat, dark suit jacket, and a partially unbuttoned white shirt. The man in the middle has his back to the camera, wearing a dark overcoat with a belt and slicked-back hair. He holds onto the other man's collar. The third man in the background faces left, wears a dark coat, and is turned away. A height chart is partially visible on the right. The image is in black and white with dim lighting.
