The image portrays several individuals seated at a table. One person, wearing a dark dress and a flowing shawl, is in the foreground on the right. The figure has their head turned to the left, with a veiled face and round spectacles. Dark hair cascades down, and a book or newspaper is on the table in front of them, alongside a glass bottle and carafe. In the background, lighter lines depict other figures at a different table, possibly conversing. The background hints at an indoor setting with walls, a window, and a picture frame.
