The group of men, many of whom are graduate students studying under Wilhelm Ostwald (1853-1932), surround a table crowded with laboratory equipment, tools, and apparatuses. The scientists pictured from left to right have been identified as Julius Tafel (1862-1918), Georg Bredig (1868-1944), Karl Alfred von Zittel (1839-1904), Arthur Rindell (1852-1936), Ostwald, Robert Thomas Diedrich Luther (1868-1945), and, seated in the foreground, Eduard von Stackelberg (1867-1943).
