The image portrays a sketch featuring the upper bodies and profiles of three individuals. Two men and one woman are depicted. The first man, on the left, wears a tall hat, frontal nose and beard. The woman in the center has short, wavy hair. The second man, on the right, has short hair and a pointed nose, and is wearing a coat with visible buttons on the sleeves. Faint pencil lines suggest the presence of a feather atop his head. The background is plain.
