The image shows a group of men, with two men in the foreground. Both men wear long overcoats and top hats, obscuring some features of their faces. The man on the left holds an umbrella and a pocket watch, while the man on the right holds what appears to be a piece of bread. Their expressions are stern. Other men in similar attire are in the background, facing away. A large cloud, likely smoke, rises behind them. The upper portion of the background hints at a building structure.
