The image is a black and white illustration of a group of people in a cave. The background is dark and the figures are drawn in a realistic style. In the center of the image, there is a man sitting on a bed, playing a musical instrument. He is wearing a long robe and a headscarf, and is holding a book in his hands. To his left, there are two other figures, one of whom is sitting and reading a book, and the other is standing next to him. To the right, there appears to be a man with a headdress and a beard, who is also sitting on the bed.

There are also several other figures in the background, some of whom are also wearing traditional clothing and headdresses. The figures appear to be engaged in a conversation, with one of them gesturing with their hands as if they are explaining something to the other. The overall mood of the illustration is somber and contemplative.
