Description
Three full-body figures are depicted. On the left, a man is stepping forward with his left foot, holding a sword at his waist and an instrument resembling a small xylophone. He wears a mask with sharp facial features, a mustache, and a feathered hat. In the center stands another man holding a lute-like instrument, with an elongated nose and chin, wearing a cap with a feather, a collared shirt, and trousers. To the right, a woman stands holding the folds of an elaborate gown with floral designs. She wears a veil covering her head and shoulders. The background is minimal.
