This is a print showing a couple in european clothes seated across a table. The woman has a hairstyle typically used to represent europeans and wears an off-shoulder gown with puffed sleeves. She is playing a violine. The man seated across her is dressed in a jacket and trousers, and seems to tilting a bottle to pour something out on the container he holds with his other hand. The table is covered with a large vase and other cutlery, especially noticiable being the fork and the spoon. A third figure (most likely an attendant) wearing Indian clothes stands behind the seated man holding a bowl.
