The photograph shows two individuals sitting at a counter. One person, wearing a hat, has their body obscured with their head slightly tilted forward. The other person is sitting upright with an elbow on the counter and their hand supporting their head, turned towards the other individual. The person on the right has dark, curly hair partially covered by a light-colored cap and is wearing a dark coat. On the counter in front of them, there is a glass, a bowl of folded napkins or papers, and another small object. The background shows a large window with a view of brick buildings and utility poles outside, as well as a neon sign casting a faint light. An old-fashioned jukebox is visible to the right of the individuals.
