A vertical lithograph in black ink depicts two men with light skin tones at a wooden table. On the left, a young man with dark, curly hair sits with a downcast gaze. To the right, an older man in a cap leans forward with mouth open, resting a hand on the youth's shoulder. A bottle and two glasses sit between them. Loose, expressive lines define the interior and a background sign labeled with French text.
