The figures are dressed in dark attire, with the exception of one figure on the right, who wears an orange jacket and blue pants. The table is positioned in front of a blue wall, which is set against a beige background. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of melancholy and introspection. The use of muted colors and the somber expressions of the figures contribute to this mood.
