DescriptionA horizontal restaurant scene. A table with two seated couples takes up most of the image, with a window in the background with the words "Cafe Only" backwards across the top. In the foreground on the right side of the piece a woman and a man are sitting next to each other. The woman is wearing a hat and has a wineglass raised in her proper right hand. The man is looking at her - towards the viewer - and is dressed in a dark suit with a mustache and his proper right hand resting on the table.
In the center background of the piece sits another couple, against the window. The woman is wearing a wide-brimmed hat and the man is in a dark suit. They are angled slightly towards each other. On the left side of the table are two buckets with champagne bottles. In the left background a waiter stands by a curtain.
