A large group of men in colonial-era suits stand and sit around a center table and several side tables in a large room. The men standing and sitting at the tables are all white and have wigs; most are older men. On the right side, one man sits in a large chair at the head of a table. The table has papers on it and there are papers in many men's hands. In the background, there are three large windows with curtains, two doors, and several flags hanging from the back wall. The text at the bottom of the image reads: "The DECLARATION of INDEPENDENCE of the UNITED STATES of AMERICA. July 4th 1776." The entire image is in shades of brown.
