Description

Three men rest on wooden deck chairs under the roof of a veranda beside a whitewashed wall with a shuttered window. The man on the right reclines with a newspaper held up to his face, while the man on the left leans forward with papers in his hands. Trees stand behind the terrace, where a jug and a bottle sit on the stone-paved floor and cups stand on a low table.

Three men rest in wooden deck chairs on a porch with timber posts and a whitewashed wall with a shuttered window. On the left a man in a light shirt holds something to his mouth, another sits behind him, and on the right a man holds a newspaper up to his face. Cups stand on a small table, a jug and a bottle on the stony ground, with pine branches behind.
