Six men in dark military uniforms are depicted in the image. The front row shows three seated men holding swords. The back row displays three standing men with serious expressions. The men have varying facial hair and hairstyles. They are all dressed in dark military uniforms with white collars and shoulder epaulets, holding swords. Some wear belts, indicating military rank. The background shows a painted backdrop with trees and an American flag. The setting appears to be indoors based on the patterned rug.
