The scene shows a group of people gathered at a restaurant, likely socializing and enjoying meals. The foliage and surrounding elements are portrayed with dynamic, almost abstract forms, blending together harmoniously. The figures in the painting are rendered with simplified shapes and focused lines, emphasizing the emotional rather than the literal representation of the setting. The atmosphere of the painting conveys a lively and convivial moment, infused with the warmth and vibrancy of a garden setting.
