Description
The blind, white-bearded musician turns the fixed lyre. He wears a red jacket with blue lapels and blue trousers, floppy boots, a floppy hat and a beggar's sack with a jug. The little dog walks on its hind legs, the boy sings verses from pieces of paper, next to his green-blue trousers lies his hat decorated with flowers. The girl behind with the beggar's mug points to the Cavalier couple walking behind the group of trees to the left. On the right, a sleeping man from the back and a squatting woman working in front of a reed hut.
