The date of the work coincides in time with the author resorting to the theme of the self-portrait with a skull. In this composition, one can see the skull instead of the main character’s face; on the skull there is the same wide cap as on the artist's self-portrait dated 1908. There are two people standing behind the bar and drinking beer from the glasses. The character standing to the right is dressed in an elegant light suit and a long cloak; he has a skull instead of a head; there is a cap on his head and a cigarette in his teeth. The second character to the left is standing with his back to the viewer; he is dressed in a long cloak with a fur collar; he also has a skull instead of a head; there is a top hat on his head. There is a wall clock and bottles on the bar shelves. The composition is performed in a contrasting color scheme.
