Foliage and plant decorations can be observed, and the furnishings include a tall, prominently placed bookshelf or cabinet, as well as a desk where papers are piled and strewn.

The characters are engaging in a variety of activities; some seem to be interacting with each other while standing or sitting, whereas others appear to be engaged in exchanging or reading documents. There also appears to be a dog sitting with a couple of figures on a patterned floor that suggests a higher social or economic status for the setting. Furthermore, the walls are adorned with framed pieces, possibly artwork or certificates, as well as a board featuring text. This could indicate a place of business, learning, or legal matters. The complex scene is filled with details that suggest narrative elements, likely aiming to tell a story or depict a particular event or practice of the time. There are text captions below the engraving, hinting at the content's relevance or providing context for the illustration, which was a common practice for engravings meant for publication or public dissemination at the time. Due to the blurred faces, individual expressions or identities cannot be discerned, yet the overall image exudes a sense of ordered activity and social interaction within a historical context.
