On the left, a woman sitting in profile looks with a tranquil air a long haired officer who makes a cup filled with wine that has just paid a young man behind them. The woman is wearing a velvet cloak lined with fur, earrings and a small cap held by a bun. His hands are resting on his knees. A young woman wearing a white satin gown profile also standing next to them. The decor is reduced to the essential: a box bed, a table on which there are a few valuable items and a mirror and a trunk. A similar remark sobriety in the colors, where black and white predominate.
