A group of people are posed together in an indoor room with dark blue walls. They are arranged in two rows: some seated on two dark-colored sofas and others standing behind them. A round black coffee table with a small potted plant sits in front of the group on a patterned rug. On each side of the room is a tall floor lamp with a light-colored shade. Bunting with various colors and symbols is strung across the back wall, and several framed items are displayed on the right side. The floor is a light wood tone.
