The image shows four people from the waist up, drinking from mugs with exaggerated caricature features. They are depicted in the act of drinking. The central figure is a man in a suit, wearing a tall hat and the woman beside him wears a decorated dress. There is another figure with a smaller head wearing a top hat, and a slightly older man in the back row. The background depicts a crowded indoor setting, with faint outlines of people and decorations. To the left, there are outlines of bottles and glasses on a counter.
