The image shows three male figures. The man in the foreground stands slightly turned to the right, focusing on a large book. He wears a skullcap and a cloak fastened at the shoulder by a clasp, with a long, full beard. He holds a closed book in his left hand. Behind him, another man stands in a similar orientation, with short hair and gentle features, holding a staff with a decorative top in his right hand. This man wears ecclesiastical garb. In the foreground, a young boy faces the viewer with a neutral expression, holding a staff. He wears a shorter cloak. In the background, there is a wooden structure to the left, with a textured setting for the figures. The overall background is filled with parallel lines, likely suggesting a wall or neutral backdrop.
