An impressionist painting of people gathered around a table. The painting is done in shades of green. Lines from the table and dark drapes in the background pull the viewers eye to the figure in the center left of the painting. They seem to be gazing towards the viewer which helps draw attention toward them. All the other characters face each other or away from the viewer. There is a warmth to this scene, maybe family gathered around a table for a card or charades game after dinner, or a group of friends having a discussion in a bar.
