The image shows two men seated at a table. The man on the left is wearing glasses, a light-colored collared shirt, and has a receding hairline and short beard. His companion on the right is wearing a large-brimmed hat and glasses, with longer hair under the hat, and is dressed in a dark leather jacket over a light shirt with a tie or scarf around his neck. On the table are dishes with food, a bottle, and a vase with flowers in the foreground. Two other individuals are visible in the background through the restaurant's window, with the sign "ENRICO'S" partially visible. Outside, buildings and foliage can be seen, indicating a city street setting.
