At left, John stands with a long face and dark pants, while Charles stands at right with lighter pants. Three balls are set up in a line on the billiard table behind them, and their initials have been edited onto the image below them. In the left foreground, a glass display case can be seen, while to the right, other pool hall customers can be seen. Pictures and advertisements are visible all around.
