The painting shows an older man and a younger woman sitting together at a wooden table. The man is wearing a black hat and holding a clay jug in his right hand. The woman is wearing a pink dress and a white head covering, and she is holding a glass in her left hand. The man has his left arm around the woman's shoulder, and they appear to be in a romantic setting. The background of the painting is dark, which highlights the figures in the foreground. The use of chiaroscuro in this painting creates a sense of depth and drama, drawing the viewer's attention to the central figures.
