The painting is in focus and depicts two figures, one standing and playing a guitar and the other sitting at a table with a laud propped against his knee holding a wine glass. The man pictured is slightly out of focus, but looks directly at the camera with a neutral expression. We glimpss additional paintings stacked against the wall in the background.

He wears a striped collared shirt and velvet jacket and poses against what appears to be a background painted with a large pumpkin, gourd and tall grasses.
