Artist, German, 1867 - 1945

The image depicts two individuals shown from the waist up, seated across from each other at a table. Both people are leaning slightly forward as if engaged in conversation, with their attention directed towards one another. The individuals' facial features and hair are not distinctly detailed due to the artistic style. One appears to have short hair, while the other seems to have longer hair. Both are wearing dark clothing. On the table in front of them are three glasses. The setting is an interior room with a textured and shaded wall. The tablecloth underneath the glasses is light-colored, contrasting with the otherwise dark tones of the room. The background and surrounding areas are filled with hatch marks and crosshatching, adding depth and shadow to the scene.
