The scene is set in an elegantly furnished drawing room, where a group of well-dressed men and women are engaged in conversation and the enjoyment of tea.

Hicks' composition skillfully balances the figures and the setting, creating a harmonious and lively scene. The expressions and postures of the individuals are rendered with great sensitivity, capturing a range of emotions and interactions that suggest underlying narratives and relationships.
