The image shows a black and white drawing featuring head and shoulder portraits of five men named Lahey, Soyer, Miller, Dodd, and Pittman. Each man faces a different direction, showcasing distinct facial features such as hairstyles and expressions drawn with pen lines. Miller is labeled as the chairman and appears serious with well-combed hair. The other men also have unique hairstyles and expressions, with Soyer wearing glasses. Beside the portraits is a cartoonish bear-like figure with round eyes, a broad smile, checkered shirt, and standing upright. Above the portraits is a text box mentioning the Arts Club's guests of honor for the evening. A banner on the left reads "Corcoran Gallery of Art Committee of Selection Nineteenth Biennial Exhibition," with names and signatures of Charles E. Hittinger and C.H. Berryman as hosts, dated March 1, 1945. The background is plain with no additional details or colors.
