He is wearing a dark-colored jacket buttoned only at the top button and light-colored pants. The man on the proper left has his right hand on the seated man's left shoulder and his left hand rests on the fence. He wears a dark three-piece suit. All three men have dark hair and full mustaches. There is an ink inscription on the back.
