The image shows three people at a small round table in an indoor setting. The woman on the left is sitting with her hands on the table, looking towards the viewer. The woman in the middle faces away, wearing a wide-brimmed hat with decorations. The man on the right stands, wearing a dark suit with a beard, smoking a pipe, and wearing a tall top hat. The background shows a dim café environment with blurred decor elements and another figure wearing hats. A small glass is on the table in front of the seated woman.
