A small circular table holds a vase with flowers and an ashtray labeled "Raphael" in the foreground, with wicker chairs positioned around the table. The color palette is monochromatic, consisting of various shades of gray. The table is centrally located, with the vase and flowers slightly to the right, and the ashtray placed near the center edge of the table. In the background, faint reflections of a man sitting at another table can be seen through the glass.
