The painting, titled "Coffee Drinkers", depicts a woman and a man in a somber, brown-toned scene. The woman, wearing a long dress, stands on the left, while the man sits on the right, holding a cup. In the background, a wall with a white strip at the top adds a subtle contrast to the overall earthy palette. The artist's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and volume in the figures.
