The drawing depicts several figures in a bar or café setting. In the foreground, a seated man's back is visible, wearing a jacket and a hat. Next to him is another person with a mustache, wearing a jacket and a striped shirt, sitting in profile. A small table in front of them holds a small animal, possibly a dog or a fox. Behind them is a bar with multiple figures in various positions. One figure leans on the bar, wearing a jacket and a cap. Another figure, seated and facing forward, holds a cup or glass. Next to them, an individual sits holding a piece of paper. There is a decorative element on the wall above with glasses placed along the bar. Tall bottles and glasses are arranged on shelves at the back of the room.
