The image shows three individuals. The first person, on the left, is a woman standing with her whole body visible. She wears a long, dark, high-waisted skirt with a belt and a light blouse. Her hair is sleek and parted down the middle. In the middle is a man standing with one hand resting on the back of a chair. He wears a dark suit jacket, light vest, and matching trousers. The third individual, on the right, is another woman primarily shown from the mid-torso up. She wears similar style clothing as the first woman with a large bow at the neck. She appears to have her hair drawn back and is adorned with earrings and a brooch at her collar. The background features a wooden floor with a scattered leaf pattern and a muted backdrop that offers contrast to the figures.
