The image depicts three men, with two standing on the left and one seated on the right. The two standing men are shown in full height. One leans on a cane and wears a hat casting a shadow over his face. The other man also wears a hat, partially shadowing his face. The seated man is portrayed in profile from the waist up, with a long, pointed beard and shoulder-length hair. He wears simple, loose-fitting clothing and appears barefoot. The background is lightly textured with a faint horizon line, devoid of any additional elements to focus on the figures.
