Upper panel shows five men, three women, and two boys dressed in autumn clothing. All of the men wear jackets, vests, and cravats. Some wear, or hold, top hats, and one man sports a double-breasted coat. One woman is attired in a long-sleeve, high-collared dress, and wears a hat adorned with a feather. She is about to clasp the hand of a boy standing with her, who is dressed similarly to the men in the image, with a long waisted jacket and pants. The woman in the center is attired in pearls, bangles, and an elaborate, shoulder-bearing dress with a flounced skirt. The woman to her right shows only her profile, and is covered in a bonnet and ruffled shawl over her skirt. Another boy, dressed in a cropped jacket, pants, and a cap, stands nearby. Lower panel shows a winter snow scene in the country. Ten men and one boy stand conversing in their layered winter clothing, which includes jackets, capes, coats, vests, cravats, pants, boots and hats. Some wear gloves and hold canes. Many of the depicted men have mustaches and or sideburns. Snow, bare trees, fences, and a country house are visible in the background.
