This painting captures a moment of intellectual exchange between the two, with Alexis, a mutual friend and novelist, reading aloud to Zola.

The painting is executed in a style that predates Cézanne's mature approach, which would later be characterized by a more structured composition and a distinctive brushwork that laid the groundwork for the development of Cubism.
