The image shows three men. Two men are visible from their waist up, while the third man is in the background. The central figure is standing with a serious expression, wearing a robe-like garment with fabric draped around his shoulders. He has a hat that doubles as a display stand for various posters, mainly featuring images of John F. Kennedy. His hair is tucked under the hat. The man on the right is wearing a dark suit and tie, with short hair and holding a cleaning tool with a brush. Another man in a suit and tie is in the background. The background shows an urban setting with buildings and blurred shop elements.
