The image shows three men standing closely together in a circular formation. Each man faces one another as if in conversation. The man on the left wears a long-sleeved tunic with a belt and a cap with a length of fabric hanging down the back. His facial features are partially visible, with a prominent nose and upward gaze towards the man in the middle. The central figure wears a turban-like headdress, has a thick beard and mustache, and holds a long stick or staff with both hands. He is dressed in a similar long-sleeved tunic and appears slightly taller. The man on the right is facing slightly towards the middle man; he wears a wide-brimmed fur hat and a layered tunic with a belt. His face shows a prominent nose and small eyes, and he holds a woven basket in his right hand, with a small case or sheath hanging from his belt. The background is plain, emphasizing the detailed linework and texture on the men's clothes and features.
