The drawing shows a group of people from the waist up sitting around a table. There is a range of expressions among them. The person on the far left has a receding hairline and looks forward. Next to him is a man with facial sideburns looking down, holding a piece of paper. Two middle-aged men appear slightly startled. Beside them, a man with unkempt hair, a beard, and an expressive face gestures dramatically with his hand extended forward. The individuals wear formal dark suits typical of the era. The room has simple decor with a table holding a book and papers. The background suggests a wall in a simple interior space.
