National Gallery of Art

Two individuals are depicted walking in a side profile view. Both are playing bagpipes. The person on the left has medium-length hair and a slightly open mouth blowing into the instrument. The person on the right is wearing a hat and blowing into a bagpipe. They are dressed in tunics and leggings. The background shows a rustic landscape with trees, a wooden fence, and bushes. In the distance, a man in a cloak is walking with crutches, with mountains and a village in the background. The image has a detailed and engraved appearance.
