The second person is a man wearing a wide-brimmed hat, a brown coat over a red vest, red breeches, and blue stockings, with one gloved hand extended. The third person is an elderly woman with long gray hair, wearing a blue top and a long brown skirt. The room has a wooden chair, a ladder, an open window, a dark red carpet, and a large green drape.
