A lawyer stands in his office between two disconcerted litigants who are turned and walking away from him. As he brings a fork with an oyster on it to his mouth, he offers half of the empty oyster shell to the man on the right.

On the wall behind them are rolls of documents and a shelf of books; other papers are tacked on the wall above the desk. On the desk (right) is an ink well with feather pens.
