National Gallery of Art

The image shows three figures and a dog. One figure on the left wears a large hat and a beard. The central figure has their back turned slightly to the right, wearing a long cloak. The figure on the right holds a staff or weapon, possibly a halberd, and wears protective headgear. The scene is detailed with textural lines emphasizing fabric folds and material textures. The setting appears historical, indicating a moment of consultation or planning. The style suggests a woodcut or engraving.
