This is a print of four people gathered around a table outdoors. In the center, there is a rectangular table with thin legs, set with dice and game pieces. Two of the people sit at the table, a woman on the right and a man on the left. Two more women stand behind the man, who looks over his shoulder towards them. All of the people have pale skin, and the women wear long dresses with wide skirts and ruffled sleeves, and their hair is put up under small cloth bonnets. The man wears a long jacket with large buttons, which is open to reveal a white shirt and trousers that go down to his knees. He wears black buckled shoes, and his hair is curled. The group is surrounded by leafy trees and bushes, and a cloudy sky is visible on the left. Below the scene, there are several lines of words on the beige paper.
