An impressionistic oil painting depicts five young children, three boys and two girls, seated around a richly laden dining table, looking expectant and somewhat melancholic. The children are positioned with their chins resting on their hands, gazing intently at the various food items before them. On the table, there is a large, roasted cut of meat, likely beef or ham, still on its platter, and several dome-shaped cakes or puddings of different sizes and colors, some light golden and others dark brown, each on decorative plates. A long, rectangular loaf of what appears to be bread or cake is also present. The tablecloth beneath the food is a patterned blue and white. In front of each child are empty plates, some with cutlery, and a glass, one of which contains a amber liquid.

The children, dressed in dark, long-sleeved garments, have similar curly hair, with the girls having longer locks, one adorned with a dark blue bow. Their complexions are pale, with rosy cheeks. The background features a textured wall in muted tones, and a large window on the right side with visible muntins, revealing an exterior brick wall. A decorative blue and white ceramic pot is visible on a dark wooden sideboard.
