A wool pile of symmetric knots on a cotton foundation. Four male figures get stoned in an opium den, smoking away, with a samovar, lamp, and two tea pots on a raised brick platform behind. Brick walls all around. A lunchbox and glasses of tea are laid out in front. Saturated colors. One figure has already passed into dreamland.
