Two individuals are shown from the waist up sitting across from each other at a table. The person on the left is wearing a hat and spectacles, with angular facial features. They are holding a glass filled with liquid. Behind them is a third figure, possibly a woman with stylized hair. The person on the right is wearing a turban-like head covering with feathers and a robe with striped sleeves. They have subtle facial features with a prominent nose. Their hands rest on a table with a backgammon board set up. The background shows an abstracted landscape with a monkey or similar creature and faint outlines of hills or trees. The setting appears to be indoors.
