The image shows a group of men gathered around a billiards table. Most of them are depicted in a three-quarters view, showing from the head to the waist or the entire upper body. The central figure is a man leaned over the pool table, with his right arm extended as he aims a pool cue towards the billiard balls. He has a well-groomed hairstyle and wears a patterned shirt with rolled-up sleeves and a vest. Another man stands next to him with a pool cue in hand, wearing a similar outfit. Around them, several other men dressed in suits, ties, and hats observe the game intently. Some wear flat caps, and one man is seen with a pipe in his mouth. The setting appears to be indoors with overhead lighting directed at the table, creating contrasts between light and shadow. The room is dimly lit beyond the focused light above the table, contributing to a concentrated and somewhat intimate atmosphere captured in the etching.
