The image depicts three figures in an artwork. On the left is a skeletal figure playing a drum. In the center and to the right, a man and a woman are standing close to each other. The woman wears a detailed dress and a feathered hat, looking serious. The man wears a robe and a plumed hat, with a bushy beard and mustache. A small dog resembling a lion sniffs the ground on the bottom left. The background shows a small townscape with a clock tower against a partially cloudy sky.
