Without text on the reverse. The picture presents a scene in a bistro, presumably the bistro of a bathing establishment, in which two ladies are lingering in a relaxed, careless pose. They are sitting at a table with cognac and a cigar, barefoot and wearing bathing caps. The scene is further enhanced by two other ladies in the background, who are in a similar, less appealing pose.
