This is a drawing of three figures dressed in historical attire. The drawing shows the backs of three individuals who are wearing cloaks and hats, each standing in a different pose. The textures of the clothing are detailed, with flowing lines that suggest movement. In the lower right part of the image, there is an inscription written in a decorative script. The scene is rendered in monochrome, with precise lines and sparse shading that give a sense of depth and form to the figures.
