Español: Violinista con dos muchachos

Un mezzotinto en suaves tonos grises muestra a un violinista con sombrero de ala ancha que levanta un vaso, con dos muchachos junto a él en una mesa. Un muchacho abajo a la izquierda ríe con la boca abierta, mientras el otro sonríe sobre el violín, con el arco inclinado sobre el fondo oscuro.

Português: Violinista com dois rapazes

Uma meia-tinta em suaves tons de cinza mostra um violinista de chapéu de aba larga erguendo um copo, com dois rapazes ao seu lado em uma mesa. Um rapaz à esquerda, na parte inferior, ri de boca aberta, enquanto o outro sorri sobre o violino, com o arco inclinado contra o fundo escuro.
