The image displays three men captured from the waist up. The first man is on the left, facing the second man directly and pointing towards him. He has a mustache and sideburns, and his hair is mostly hidden by a military-style cap. He wears a dark uniform with large, light-colored epaulettes and a sash across his chest. The second man stands in the center, wearing spectacles and a similar uniform to the first man, including a draped sash. The third man is on the right, slightly angled towards the first man, with his hands clasped in front of him. He also has a mustache, wears a tall ornate hat with a plume, and a dark military uniform with epaulettes and a cross-body sash. The background seems to be an interior setting with a wooden floor and a cylindrical structure, possibly a stove pipe, in one corner.
