Inside of what appears to be a simple cottage, a woman and two men are gathered around a table. The woman, sitting at the table, holds an open music book. One of the man leans over her shoulder in order to read the music while he is playing the violin. The other man, sitting at the opposite side of the table with a tall glass in his left hand and a happy expression on his face, is singing. In front of the table on the floor stands a large decorated jug with a lid. A pipe and a tobacco box lie on the table
