The image shows a line drawing of three full-bodied figures standing side by side. They face the viewer, with the two outer figures slightly turned towards each other. Each person has distinct facial features and long flowing hair. The two figures on the sides wear crowns made of small leaves. The middle figure has a more loosely styled hair and all three individuals wear gowns that contour to their bodies, holding a piece of draped fabric. They are interlinked by their hands. A linear floral design runs horizontally beneath them. The scene is enclosed within an orange rectangular box, with a plain off-white background.
