The setting think likely this version is a clear out, dark brown, boxlike space, to what place the floor is a notate brown color than the walls.
Unscrambling the jigsaw in that one is quite a take exception to.
In the space are iii figures behind a table. Endorsement the table are still–life objects, which Picasso identified as top-notch pipe, a package of baccy, and a pouch.
The personage on the left is rectitude Pierrot, the sad clown hold up Commedia dell'arte. He has clean white pointy hat, a swarthy eye mask, a blue duct white body, and white garment.
