The image is a black and white painting of a scene depicting a group of people gathered around a staircase, with some individuals standing and others seated. The painting appears to be a study or sketch, as it lacks the level of detail and finish typically found in a completed work of art.

The scene is set in a grand, possibly ancient or classical setting, with columns and arches visible in the background.
