Frontal view of two musicians. The drawing is in portrait format. It is organized within a frame drawn in ink. Traces of watercolor and inscriptions are visible in the margins.
In the center, a musician plays a hydraulic organ. Placed high up, he blows into the organ’s various pipes. The wooden water box can be seen, with its two air pumps on either side. On the right, a musician plays the cornet.
The composition is inspired by the mosaic at Villa Nennig.
