DescriptionPaint on paper. Two figures sit at a table, a man with his back to the wall faces forward, and a woman to his right sits side on to the viewer, facing toward the man. She is sitting in a high backed wicker chair and she wears a long, light blue dress, with a matching ribbon holding up her black hair, and he is dressed in a long, brown and cream plaid jacket, with a dress shirt and blue tie on underneath. The figures are seated at a table with blue and white serving set on it, and she is holding what looks to be playing cards in her hand. The people are offset in the lower right corner of the image, with a large expanse of grey wall rising above the man's head, and behind the woman is a dresser, a framed painting of ducks in flight, and the lower corner of a dark wood framed leaded window.
