The image is a sketch of several figures in a café or similar setting. In the foreground, three individuals are visible from the waist up. The central figure is a woman with her head resting on her hand, her hair styled into a bun, wearing a high-necked dress. The woman to the right is in profile, with her hair also swept into a bun, dressed similarly. Both wear long-sleeved attire. To the left, a man with a mustache is partially visible, seated with a drink in front of him. A glass with liquid is prominently placed on the table in front of the central woman. The background shows additional figures in similar attire, suggesting a bustling environment, with minimal detailing providing a sense of depth and activity within the space.
