A top-down shot reveals a square table set for four people, each with a bowl of red soup, likely borscht, on a patterned plate. A wooden platter holds slices of dark bread, flanked by small glass dishes of cream or butter. A cylindrical container with branding is near a tiny dish of salt. A small table lamp with a glowing bulb casts warm light, while people are seated around the table, visible by their arms and clothing. Silverware is scattered around the plates.
