A vertically oriented print in black ink on light paper depicts three figures in expressive cross-hatching against a dark, textured background. In the upper left, a woman in dark gloves and a frilled skirt kicks outward with her head tilted back. Below her, a man in a tuxedo plays a double bass with an open mouth. At the bottom right, another figure plays a trumpet with puffed cheeks. Loose papers float left.
