Her hands are resting on the bar, holding a tall glass. The man seated next to her is wearing a two toned jacket, white collared shirt, and a diagonally striped tie. His hands are resting on the bar in front of him. On the wall in the background is a painted mural of a woman’s face. She has blonde hair, dark lips, and heavy cat eye eyeliner. There are several people seated at the bar on either side of the man and woman. On the bar are two dark glass bottles, several glasses, and an ashtray. There are no inscriptions on the front or back of the photograph.
