The image shows four individuals standing side by side in front of a brick building. All four are shown from head to toe. The person on the left is dressed in a full-length dress and wearing a doll-like mask with curly hair sculpted on it. Next to them stands a person in a dress with a coat, with smudges of white makeup on their face, holding a paper bag. The third person is taller, wearing a long coat over a plain t-shirt and frayed denim shorts, with hair styled in a side parting. The individual on the right is wearing a cat mask and an outfit with a bold black and white patterned top. The background shows a residential area with a fence, grass, a concrete pavement, and part of a stairway leading up to a door on the right side of the image.
