The image shows a group of people in a social gathering. In the foreground, two women are seated, wearing long dresses with patterns. One woman has a bow on her head. Both women have defined facial features. A man stands near them. A crowd of men, visible from the torso up, are dressed in dark suits with white collars and cravats. The background is shaded with textured lines.
