A standing Dutchman with a grotesque face is beating a drum, the sides inlaid with horn buttons, which he is holding in his raised hand. His parodic facial expression shows he is deep into the groove, his eyes are inlaid with dark horn. He is wearing a headpiece and a long, densely patterned garment. A boy is sitting by his feet, blowing a trumpet with all his power. Himotoshi through the man’s behind and one leg. A fine composition imbued with a lot of movement.
