Abstract:
An elderly man, with balding head and a beard, dressed in a long coat lined with fur, is sitting on a bench next to a table and holding in his hand a conical drinking glass. To the right, a younger woman is sitting behind the table and smiling while looking at her companion. In front of her stands a large pot or a bowl filled with soup. Next to the bowls stands a large ceramic jug. The woman is dressed in the 17th-century Dutch manner. On the wall behind her hangs a fish.
