Description

Two men on a wooden terrace under tall pine trees. A man reclines in a slatted deck chair, smiling and holding something in one hand, while a standing man in a light shirt and short trousers bends toward him holding out a plate with a slice of dark cake. Behind them a wooden table holds papers, and a wooden post frames the right edge.

The standing man, in a light shirt and dark trousers, bends forward holding out a plate with a slice of cake. A small wooden table with papers stands behind them, and a wooden post and roof edge frame the right side of the view.
