The artwork is a black-and-white print featuring an interior scene with a high contrast between light and dark areas. In the foreground, several people are seated at tables, engaged in reading newspapers or in conversation. Their faces and figures are partially illuminated. In the background, there is a bar area with a person standing behind the counter, and shelves filled with bottles. The composition is dense, with figures overlapping and a sense of depth created by the positioning of the furniture and people. The use of chiaroscuro is present.
