Man at left with chin beard, holding a hat with fluffy plume, the sash across his uniform contains a Maltese cross, a seven-pointed star with a serpent symbol in the middle and a Masonic emblem at the bottom. Visible on his apron is a pair of long connected crosses plus a skull and crossbones emblem underneath. A long thin sword is connected to the apron. He is also wearing light colored gloves, one bearing a Christian-like cross. In one hand, he appears to be holding a thin knife. The other man with a goatee at the right is wearing long light-colored stocking and pants with buttons along the sides. The collar of his coat is rather wide.
