The painting depicts a group of men in military uniforms gathered in a room. The central figure is a young man with dark hair, wearing a blue uniform and a white sash. He is standing at a table, with his hands resting on a document. The other men are standing behind him, to the left and right. They are all wearing different colored uniforms and have various facial expressions. The room is dark and shadowy, with only a few light sources illuminating the scene.
