A domestic interior scene. Two male figures dressed in eighteenth-century clothes and wigs are seated at the table underneath stone archways. The one on the left, seen in profile to the right, is holding a piece of paper with both hands. The one on the right, seen in three-quarter view to the left, has his left arm resting on the back of the chair, whilst his right arm is leaning on the table, his head resting on his hand. In the foreground centre there is a piece of paper fallen on the stone-flag floor and a silver jug to the right. Two other male figures can be seen in the middle ground.
