Three people are depicted in the image. On the left, a person is handling a rolled document. This person has long hair, mostly hidden by a large hat, and is dressed in a gown. In the center, a woman stands with hands on her hips, wearing a full-length dress with a sash. She has short, curly hair and a necklace. The man on the right is turned slightly towards the woman, with his head bowed as if examining something up close. He has short, combed-back hair and is dressed in knee-length attire with a coat. He holds a lit candle in a candlestick, providing light in the room. The background shows a room with a grid pattern on the walls and ceiling. There is also a small object on the table near the man.
