The etching features the full upper bodies of five seated men in dark robes and caps, with additional lighter garments draped over their shoulders. Their faces are long and somber, with exaggerated features and dark beards. Each man holds a cross-like object in their folded hands. The background is a simple textured surface, emphasizing the figures. An inscription below the figures reads "No se puede - saber por que."
