This painting shows a man sitting in a chair, holding a palette and brushes in his right hand. He wears a red coat over a white shirt and black pants. To his left stand two women, one in a black dress and the other in a brown dress, both with hats and jewelry. A small dog sits on the floor in front of them. The background is a room with a large mirror and a painting on an easel. The man's expression is serious, and he looks directly at the viewer. The women seem to be engaged in conversation, their faces turned towards each other. The dog appears to be looking up at the man. This painting is reminiscent of the work of artist Jean-Laurent Mosnier.
