The image shows three men from the waist up, standing closely together outdoors. The man on the left is standing with his right hand on a parking meter, wearing a light-colored suit, a tie, and a wide-brimmed hat. He has a mustache and is looking directly at the camera. The middle man is turned slightly to his left, smiling, and he wears a light-colored shirt, buttoned jacket with a collar, and a similar wide-brimmed hat. The man on the right is facing towards the camera, smiling, and wears a cap, light overalls, and a jacket with a fur collar. The background features a canopy or awning, suggesting a storefront or outdoor sidewalk area, cast in shadow, contributing to the high-contrast lighting in the image.
