The men are depicted enjoying themselves, as they smoke cigarettes and point to glasses in front of them. The atmosphere is subdued, with soft lighting and muted colors casting an intimate ambiance. A man in the center of the table draws attention by pointing animatedly at a glass, likely relaying a story or engaging in a lively discussion. Another man, holding a cigarette, exudes a relaxed demeanor. The room features a wooden door, accompanied by a wooden post, adding to the rustic aesthetic. A small wood stove can be seen in the background, providing warmth and comfort. A paper is affixed to the wall, possibly a notice or decoration. Close-ups reveal details such as the pipe hanging on the wall and a close-up of a man's legs. The overall composition of the painting captures the camaraderie and leisurely atmosphere of the gathering.
