The image shows two individuals behind a window. The person on the left is leaning forward, with balding hair and an elongated face. The person on the right stands upright, holding a plate. Both wear dark clothing. Outside the window are shutters. Below, there are three figures. On the left, a person with long, tied-back hair plays a stringed instrument. In the center, a figure wearing a tall hat appears to be singing. On the right, another person wearing a top hat plays a flute. They are wearing layered clothes of the era and are in front of a wall sign. The background is a lightly textured backdrop, and the foreground suggests a street setting.
