The painting shows three figures - two men and a woman - standing close together against a dark, neutral background. The woman is in the centre, her body erect, her gaze fixedly and unmoving forward. To her left and right stand the men, their bodies turned slightly towards her, their heads subtly inclined as they watch her intently. Despite their proximity, their bodies just barely touch, as if there is an invisible tension between them.
Their clothing is minimal: only simple briefs cover their bodies, leaving the contours of their muscular or soft forms clearly visible. The shadowy lighting accentuates the lines and textures of their skin, while the contrast with the dark background makes their figures look almost sculptural.
On their heads they wear lavish bouquets, like colourful hats rising above them. The flowers - a sumptuous combination of roses, dahlias, lilies and ferns - seem to flow into each other through their proximity, making the whole look like one big, living floral arrangement. This interplay of human forms and natural abundance gives the scene a dreamy, almost surreal look, as if they were part of a symbolic or mythical scene.
