The image is a sketch on a plain light beige paper, depicting five people shown from the shoulders up. In the center, two individuals are turned slightly toward each other in profile. The person on the left has short dark hair, and the person next to them has slightly longer dark hair. To the right, a person with short dark hair is partially facing away from the viewer but shows their profile to the left. On the far right, another person with short dark hair is visible. The individual on the left side of the group also has short dark hair and is partially turned toward the central figures. The clothing is minimally sketched, with the suggestion of collars and shoulders. The background is predominantly negative space, suggesting foliage or trees above and to the sides of the group with sketchy lines.
