The image shows four men sitting closely together on a bench. The photograph captures the upper half of their bodies from the side. The men are positioned in a straight line, sitting upright and facing to the right side of the image. The first man wears a light-colored hoodie and holds an open book. The second man, also looking downward, wears a dark jacket. The third man wears a jacket with a hood and a patch on the upper arm, with short, curly hair and a mustache. He holds a thick book. The last man has short hair and his head is lowered towards his hands, wearing a striped shirt under a jacket. The third man is wearing bracelets and a ring on his hand. The background includes a plain wall and a brick column, with the bench as seating for the men.
