Description:
Two disorderly men walk toward the viewer, arm-in-arm, singing in the street as the rain pours down on them from the left. As the two men step over a broken object, the man on the left, with his jacket billowing open, raises his right arm in exuberance. At the far right, two men trail behind. Caricature; bourgeois; Paris; musicians.
