The image depicts a dark scene with a crowd of people gathered in an indoor setting. A man on the left side of the image faces the right; he wears a hat with a wide brim and a long coat. A man on the right side of the image faces left; he wears a long dress. Between them is a large group of people gathered around two central figures playing instruments. The background features tall buildings with many windows. The entire image is rendered in dark brown and black lines on a beige background. A blue handwritten note at the bottom right corner includes a date, "30 Oct 1903."
