The composition of the work is a reflection of the era in which it was created, a time of change and accelerated modernization. In the center of the piece, a meeting of male figures aligned in a semicircular formation is observed, marking a sensation of dynamism and collective movement. The figures are presented as a profile, which adds a level of formality and solemnity to the scene, sometimes remembering the classic friezes. The face of the figures is schematic but loaded with expression, managing to convey a feeling of determination and community.

The use of color in this work is another aspect to highlight. Petrov-Vodkin has used a limited palette with predominance of reddish and orange tones, which not only provide warmth to the work, but also evoke the communist symbolism of the time, where red was the emblem color. The blurred background in gray and blue tones contrasts with the vivacity of the characters, focusing the viewer's attention in the central action and providing a harmonious visual balance.

A remarkable detail in the work is the architectural structure that appears in the background, a wink to the new construction and industrialization that were transforming the rural and urban landscape of the Soviet Union. This subtle inclusion highlights the interconnection between human progress and technological and industrial advances, a recurring theme in the art of the time.

His ability to capture the essence of his time without resorting to strict realism clearly manifests in this piece.
