The drawing depicts the upper portions of three figures, positioned in profile facing left. They are closely aligned, with overlapping faces. The facial features are rendered with monochrome lines and shading, giving them a stylized appearance. The expressions are neutral, and the hair is depicted with textured strokes. The individuals are not shown wearing clothing. The background is shaded with crosshatched patterns, emphasizing the figure silhouettes. The drawing is done in a sketch-like style with thick lines and shading.
