About this work

You see three men seated around a table in this lithograph. They're all dressed up and seem to be in the middle of a conversation. One interesting thing about this work is that it shows how people interact with each other in public, and it does this in a pretty subtle way. You can learn more about this style by looking into the technique: lithography.
