This is a painting of a scene inside a domestic setting. Two men and a woman are depicted in a dramatic moment. One man is grasping the lapels of another, while the woman sits slumped to the side. The room is detailed with diamond-paned windows and an open door. There is a large jug on the floor beside a hat, emphasizing the lived-in aspect of the room.
