This is a drawing of three figures in period attire. The drawing features three figures occupying a space in the composition. The two figures on the sides are dressed in elaborate garments with wide-brimmed hats adorned with plumes, one holding a cane, while the other stands with his arms akimbo. The central figure is shown from the back. The style is reminiscent of detailed ink or pen sketches characteristic of early modern European artwork, with meticulous line work and attention to the textures of the fabrics. At the bottom, there is a printed inscription "Cum Privile Reg Israel excudit".
