His expression appears commanding or declarative.

  2. To the right of him sits an elderly man with a beard, wearing a robe and a headdress that might signify a position of wisdom or authority, such as a judge or a high priest. He is seated on a throne-like chair and seems to be listening or contemplating the standing man's proclamation.

  3. Behind the seated man are two figures, possibly attendants or other officials, looking on. They also appear to be wearing classical robes.
