The image shows three men. Two men are clear while the face and part of the body of the third man are obscured by markings. The middle person is standing upright, with one hand holding a hat. He has a serious expression with short hair neatly combed, dressed in a suit, tie, and a white shirt. The third man on the right side is dressed similarly in formal attire with a suit and tie, appearing slightly older, with a bald head and facial features suggesting a mustache. The men are standing on what appears to be a stone or concrete step, with a building wall in the background. The image has been altered with brush strokes and markings over some of the faces and bodies, adding a rough texture to the photo.
