Séances musicales

There are four men in the image, visible from the waist up and seated closely in a row, facing to the right side of the frame. They exhibit varied expressions, distinct facial features like prominent noses and furrowed brows, and messy hair. They are dressed in generic attire. Several musical instruments including a guitar, a tambourine, and a violin float above their heads. The background is a simple, darkly shaded backdrop.
