This painting shows a group of people in a simple, sketchy style. They're drawn in black ink and colored with gouache, a type of paint. The people are standing in two groups, one on the left and one on the right. The group on the left has a man wearing a hat and overalls, with a woman and two children around him. The group on the right has a man holding a picture, with another man and a child next to him. The painting looks like it was made quickly, with rough lines and simple shapes. The colors are muted, with lots of beige and brown. The overall effect is one of simplicity and directness.
