The second man from the left wears a red headband, a brown coat and striped pants, and carries a bag over his shoulder and a rope in his hand. The donkey, positioned in the center, has a colorful blanket on its back and a basket on its head. The man on the right wears a fur hat, a brown jacket, and white pants. The background of the painting is off-white. The image shows a group of people dressed in traditional clothing.
