Description

Two women sit at a small table on a stone-flagged terrace under a timber roof, with cups and plates in front of them and a dark teapot on the table. A man stands at the right with his back to the camera, leaning toward the table, and another man bends at the left beside a wooden post. Folding wooden chairs with striped canvas backs stand around the table, and pine trees rise beyond the posts.
