Abstract:
Two ballad singers, one of them standing on top of an overturned large basket, are singing to a small but pleased-looking crowd by the entrance to an inn. A child standing in front of the basket is reaching up to offer the singer a coin
A group of men sit at a table inside a large cottage or an inn. One of them, comfortably sprawled in a chair, is playing a violin. A man on the opposite side of the table is singing. To the left of the fiddler, another man is singing from a music sheet. A man in an apron, perhaps the innkeeper, is about to put a large glass with a drink on the table. Behind him on a bench stands a large jug. In the background is a large bed with open curtains
