A horizontally oriented etching in black ink depicts a tavern interior. Two men sit at a table in the foreground with a large pitcher; the one on the right faces forward while holding a pipe. Behind them, a figure plays a violin near a window. On the far left, a man in a tall hat stands looking toward the group. Dense vertical hatching and cross-hatching define the textured clothing and dark shadows.
