The image shows a black and white etching of four individuals. There is a seated man on the left, with his upper body exposed, leaning on a chair and gesturing towards the table. Beside him, an older man leans forward holding a basket of fruit. In the center-back, a second seated man is viewed from behind, holding a cup. In front of him is a bird. To the right, a standing woman looks towards the group with her arm outstretched. The background features a wooden beam ceiling, a shelf with jugs, and a window with lattice-pane detailing.
