The image shows a café terrace with a group of men in formal attire sitting and standing around small round tables. Most men wear top hats and jackets. One man has a prominent mustache and is dressed in checkered pants, smoking a cigarette. Another man is holding what looks like a newspaper or menu with a cigarette in his mouth. A woman walks past the tables in a dark cloak and hat, carrying a large package. Another woman stands closer, wearing a feathered hat. The background features a building with ornate details, large windows, street lighting, and city facades. The tables are adorned with drinks, a bottle, and ice buckets.
