From a slightly elevated viewpoint, we see a heavy, round wooden table surrounded by seven chairs. The group is standing on a light-coloured carpet in the middle of a brightly lit interior. A large window behind them offers a view of a distant landscape, even though a thin, transparent curtain is drawn in front of it. On the left-hand wall is a dark sideboard, above which hangs a picture whose motif cannot be recognised. The painting, created in 1935, was also listed under the title 'Interieur' (Interior).

The chairs depicted, cantilever chairs made of tubular steel with black backrests and seats, are the ST 17 model from Thonet, designed by architect Fritz August Breuhaus. A Thonet catalogue from 1933 contains an illustration showing a very similar group of chairs, also arranged around a round table. It is likely that Grossberg used this illustration as a template for his painting. In the year the work was created, it was printed in the magazine 'Westermanns Monatshefte' (Westermann's Monthly Magazine) on the subject of 'Zwei Jahrhunderte Eisen und Stahl' (Two Centuries of Iron and Steel). Grossberg also incorporated steel furniture into many of his interior design projects.
