The image shows three men depicted from foot to shoulder height. The man on the left is leaning forward, with his mouth open and holding a glass. He has exaggerated facial features, including a prominent nose and chin, and wears a cap with short hair visible beneath it. He is dressed in a loose-fitting garment with vertical stripes on his trousers. The central figure stands upright with one arm casually extended and is depicted in partial profile. He wears a tall top hat, a large mustache, and sideburns, dressed in a long coat and striped trousers. He holds a glass in one hand and a large club in the other. The man on the right, who is also partly in profile, has a long, narrow face and a full beard. He wears a cap and loose shirt with rolled sleeves, holding a club similar to the central figure's. His trousers are tucked at the ankles, and he is depicted with an open stance. The background features faces of several other figures holding glasses with indistinct features. The drawing includes cross-hatching and scribbles in the background. The overall tone is monochromatic, with stark lines and heavy shading.
