Three of Manet's friends pose behind green railings: the painter Berthe Morisot, seated, the painter Antoine Guillemet and the violinist Fanny Claus. None looks at another, and a boy, probably Léon Leenhoff, glimmers in the dark room behind. Loosely based on Goya's Majas on a Balcony, it puzzled critics at the Salon of 1869.

Below Morisot's chair a small dog plays with a ball. Guillemet's blue tie and her red fan are the only strong accents in a palette of white, green and black.
