The image features a man standing to the left of a counter. He is wearing a tall, cylindrical hat, a dark coat with tails, dark trousers, and shoes. He is holding a wallet or case and looking intently at it with a serious expression. His facial features are drawn in a caricature style with a long nose and large eyes. To the right of the man, behind a counter, a woman is seated wearing a dress with puffed sleeves. She has neatly pulled back hair and a neutral expression. A large decorative bowl or basket sits on the counter between them. In the background, another man sits at a table, engaged in writing or playing a game, with a partial view of his companion who is turned away. The background is decorated with ornate patterns, suggesting an interior setting.
