The image consists of six full-body portraits of men wearing attire from the 17th or 18th century. They are standing upright in formal postures, each with distinct facial features. The men's clothing includes long cloaks, knee-length coats, knee breeches, stockings, and buckled shoes. Some wear high-collared ruffs, wigs, or natural curls. One man holds a staff, and another wears a tricorn hat. Additional accessories such as hats and gloves are also visible. The background is plain.
