In a tavern, sailors in uniform are carousing; one dances with a woman in the centre, as another plays a violin on the left in front of diamond-patterned casement windows; others are drinking (mugs in hand) or smoking clay pipes. A couple kiss and embrace in the background. A ship model hangs from the ceiling. A fat dog (or cat?) lies at the feet of the musician
