He smiles and gestures with raised open palms while an older man in a white shirt and grey trousers leans in toward him, hands extended, wearing a red wristband. To the right, a younger man with long swept-back hair and an orange garment rests his chin on his hand. Behind them hangs a painted cloth backdrop with pale stylised tree and branch motifs.
