A vertically oriented cancelled zinc plate in dark gray depicts six men in belted tunics playing musical instruments. In the center, a man plays an accordion, surrounded by figures holding long-necked stringed instruments. A wall hanging on the left features a bear playing a balalaika beneath two lanterns. Shading is rendered with smooth gradients, and the entire composition is marked by prominent diagonal scratches across the metal surface.
