About this work

Before a house with a roof terrace sit an old man with an Indian zither, next to him sits a person with a head in the shape of a horse playing another instrument. The listener sits on a low table with a large green headpiece, behind him stands a fourth person; the dark sky indicates that it is night. The scene is placed in a frame of gold-colored and black frame lines with gold-colored leaf motifs and pasted on blue-speckled paper.
