The image shows five individuals gathered around a circular table in a room. Four people are seated at the table, while the fifth person stands in the background slightly to the right. Their facial features are detailed but not prominently highlighted, and they have short hair and small hats. The individuals wear robes or traditional clothing that blend with the style of the artwork. The background suggests an indoor setting with light visible through an entrance. A decorative panel with a nature scene is on the left, and intricate patterns and a cylindrical object are on the right. The image has a textured appearance due to a combination of light and shadow.
