A man to the right sits cross-legged looking at his companion and handing him a long white clay pipe, the man to the left sits with a glass resting on one knee, taking the pipe in one hand.

A sword and hat are resting on chair in bottom left corner, and a broken clay pipe and discarded playing card are on the ground to the right. A small window is high up in the top left corner.
