The etching depicts a group of men sitting closely together. In the center is a nude figure with a cloth draped over their lap, wearing a crown of vine leaves and holding a large drinking vessel. Surrounding this central figure are other men seated or kneeling, some wearing hats and loose clothing. Their facial expressions vary, with expressions ranging from smiling to contemplative. One man to the right holds a jug. In the foreground, a figure is hunched over a large jar or barrel. In the background are mountains, trees, and a natural setting.
