The image shows three men standing side by side. Their upper bodies and heads are fully visible, while their lower bodies are wrapped in light-colored plaid sarongs extending to their feet. The first man on the left stands with a slight lean and rests one hand on his hip, the middle man stands straight and is the tallest, and the third man on the right also rests a hand on his hip. Each man has distinct facial features: the first man's hair is very short, the middle man has a shaved head, and the third man's hair is also very short. The background appears to be a tent with fabric draped behind them. The tent's fabric has varying shades of light and dark. There are no visible objects or jewelry adorning the men.
