Description
A relaxed atmosphere in which one man talks, another listens and another reads a piece of paper.
Work on a black background with white strokes. It consists of three figurative elements well delineated in two distinct planes.
In the foreground, in the centre of the work, is a man in shorts with a naked torso, facing away from another man on his left. His posture seems to be that of someone listening to the other man. The proximity and direction of his face and the fixation of his pupils on the other man's face are signs of concentration.
His left shoulder and curved back are visible, his left arm is bent upwards and his elbow is resting on his raised left thigh. Her left leg is bent and resting on a low table, while her right leg is straight out. The right arm falls with the right hand holding the hip. A wavy line describes the vertebrae of the spine.
The bare face turned to the left is supported entirely by the open left hand. The eyebrows are thick but wide apart, the lips are plump, the eyes have prominent pupils. Two long, thin lines are outlined on the forehead. The hair is short, with a wide curl in the fringe and a Swiss curl.
On the left, the second man is facing forwards, sitting on the floor behind the low table with his legs crossed and drawn up to his chest. His arms are stretched out and his fused hands hold his knees, but his thumbs are free. His head is raised towards the figure of the first man. 

With his mouth half open, you can see his ear and the right side of his face. The short hair with wavy fringes matches the curve of the head.
The third man, also in the background, is in front of, behind and to the right of the first man. He's standing, wearing shorts, concentrating on reading a piece of paper, with both hands occupied, close to his face. The face and hair have simplified features, no mouth, no eyebrows, the line of the nose runs from the forehead to the chin. The eye groove is small and slightly curved upwards. The hair is defined by the curvature of the head and the prominent front headdress.
The bent left leg rests with the toe of the shoe in front of the rigid right leg.
Both men are wearing espadrilles on a striped floor that gives depth to the workWork on a black background with a white outline. Made up of three well-delineated male figures on two different planes.
