Brief Description

Two men, one pouring from a jug, the other with a wide-open mouth

Detailed Description

This black and white artwork depicts two men in a close-up scene. On the left, a man stands, his body angled towards the right. He wears a simple, dark-toned jacket or shirt. His left arm is raised high above his head, holding a small, dark jug from which liquid appears to be pouring downwards. His face, partially obscured by his dark, unruly hair, has his mouth slightly open. To the right and slightly lower, another man is depicted, possibly seated or slumped. His head is tilted back, and his mouth is wide open, revealing his teeth. His dark, unruly hair frames his face. His right hand is raised towards his mouth, with fingers slightly curled. He leans against a vertical wooden post or chair back on the far right. In the lower left foreground, a rough wooden table or surface is visible. On this surface, another small, dark jug lies on its side, with liquid spilling from its opening onto the table. Several small, indistinct light-toned objects are also scattered on the table. The background is dark and textured, suggesting an interior space with rough walls.
