A square-format etching and aquatint in black ink depicts a cluster of objects on a horizontal surface. In the lower half of the composition, a dark, rounded hat with a wide brim rests atop a guitar and folded fabric. The upper half remains empty. Detailed hatching and grainy tones define the objects, while a heavy, dark shadow stretches across the ground to our right from the base of the pile.
