The image shows a woman standing facing a seated man. The woman is wearing a head scarf, shawl, long dress with lace at the hem, and shoes. She has her arms crossed and looks stern. The man is seated at a table, leaning against it with his arm resting on the surface. He has unkempt hair, a mustache, and is wearing a jacket, pants, and shoes. On the table are a large round container with a lid and bottles. The wall behind them has some sketches and a pinned picture. The setting appears to be inside, possibly a room with modest furnishings, like a detailed curtain and floor tiles.
