This print shows three people standing closely together, focusing on their heads and shoulders. The person closest to us is near the bottom left, and they are in profile, looking to the right. They have thin hair, large eyes with heavy bags under them, a large nose, a pointed chin, and a cigarette between their thin lips. They appear to be wearing a garment with a collar. On the right is a taller person, and they are in profile, facing the left. They have darker hair with a middle part, a long, pointed nose, sharp cheekbones, thin eyebrows, and a thin mouth that appears to be partially open and in a sight frown. The third face is slightly to the left of center and is partially obscured by the other two. This face has round cheekbones, an upturned nose, curly hair, and defined lips. They appear to be wearing a dress or blouse. The background is filled with thin overlapping and crisscrossing lines, as are the faces of the three people.
