To his right, a man sits on a chair with a high back, wearing a pink robe. On the right side, a man in a black robe and hat sits on a stool, gesturing with his right hand. Another man in a white robe and black hat sits on the right edge. The background features a table with books and a bench. The overall color palette is muted, with shades of brown, red, black, and white. The men appear to be scholars, based on their clothing and the books present.
