The image shows three people in a sketch-style scene. They are positioned as follows: two on the left are facing away and slightly to the right, while the person on the right faces towards the viewer. The man on the left has outward-styled, receding hair and wears a formal coat with tails. Next to him, a woman with a bonnet or head covering wears a long, ruffled dress. Both are looking at the central figure, who wears legal robes, holds a large book or folder, and wears a cylindrical hat typical of academic or legal attire. The background features a plain wall with a framed picture and a doorway or hallway.
