This painting features a large group of people sitting closely together and facing the left, primarily shown from the waist up. The people all appear to have light skin, although some are in shadow, and they have a variety of facial expressions and clothing styles, with many individuals wearing hats. The people appear serene, and some have their mouths open as if they were speaking or singing. The group is a mix of men, women, and children, some holding open books. They are dressed in shades of white, brown, light pink, and yellow. The background appears to show architectural elements, including red and brown walls and blue areas which could be windows. The brushstrokes of the painting are thick and visible, especially in the background and on the clothes of the people.
