The image depicts three men standing in a room. The man in the middle is bending forward slightly, as if touching a staff held by the man on the right. The man on the left stands slightly behind them. All three men have beards and different hair types. They wear red, blue, and brown robes and hold staffs. The room has a stone or tiled floor, a green ceiling, and a light-colored wall.
