Three people are sitting outdoors on foldable chairs at a small table. They are positioned in a triangle arrangement, each facing slightly toward the camera. The man on the left has short light brown hair and is wearing a dark business suit with a patterned tie, while holding some wrapped food. The man in the middle has dark curly hair, wears a navy suit with a light blue shirt and a yellow patterned tie, and also holds wrapped food. The woman on the right has shoulder-length dark hair and is dressed in a gray plaid suit jacket with a burgundy turtleneck underneath. She holds similar wrapped food. The background consists of green ground cover and large trees, with several other people seated or walking along pathways, and a few tents or booths visible in the distance. A red Coca-Cola can is placed on a stone ledge near the group's feet. Shadows from the trees fall across the pavement where they are seated.
