The painting features a group of skeletons. Two skeletons are drawn prominently in the foreground; one pours a drink from a flask into a cup while the other accepts it. A third skeleton appears more faintly in the background. The skeletons are depicted with minimal detail. They appear to be sitting on the ground. The dominant colors are shades of gray and beige, suggesting a monochromatic or grayscale palette. Black calligraphy characters are at the top and to the left. A small red square seal with characters appears on the bottom-left. The background is a light beige color with a textured appearance.
