This print shows a group of men from the waist up, positioned in an outdoor setting. The man on the left has a beard and light brown hair peeking out from a large black hat, and he is wearing a red shirt beneath a blue vest. He is turned slightly, extending his arm to show something between his fingers, which has drawn the attention of the other men. The men on the right are dressed similarly in red and blue attire, also wearing wide-brimmed hats, with their mouths open and their hands raised up. One man's face is more visible, displaying a roughly depicted face with a mustache, while the rest of the men have partly obscured facial details. Their skin is in shades of peach and tan. Around them, the scene includes tall trees and mountains, suggesting a forested or rugged landscape. The sky is visible in the background, with mixtures of blue and white cloud patterns.
