The image shows part of the bodies of two people, featuring the upper body to the knees. The person on the left is seated and holding a top hat in one hand. They have indistinct facial features, short hair with a mustache, and wear a dress shirt with suspenders and a bow tie. Beside them, a person on the right is also seated, resting their elbow on the table with a bottle in hand. This person has indistinct facial features and appears to have short wavy hair, wearing a sleeveless top possibly combined with a jacket or shawl, along with a hat with a feather. In front of them, the table is cluttered with papers and bottles. The background is abstract, with muted tones and loose sketches.
