Description
Two street musicians play for an audience at their door. The musician on the left, wearing a tall hat with a dog on a leash tied to his left arm, is playing what might be a hurdy gurdy. The musician on the right is playing a bagpipe using the right hand on the top and the left on the bottom. An audience of a woman and man with a child in the middle are listening while standing at a Dutch door showing only the top half of their bodies.Iconclass
