The image depicts five men gathered closely. Most of the men are seen from the shoulders up, with some figures partially obscured. The man in the front, wearing a dark jacket and a hat, is leaning towards another man in a white shirt. The man in white has short hair and faces away. The other men's faces are mostly hidden. Their hair ranges from short to slightly longer and combed back. The background shows an interior with high, arched windows.
